My school didn't lock doors and I had friends visit and be amazed at how every building was open to study and meet in. Unfortunately we did have to pay for printing. It is very easy to take these liminal spaces for granted and abuse privilege of access. Overtime students began to do drugs and abuse other things because of the "open" attitude. Buildings I used to stumble out of at 4am from studying in the summer time were now closed at 12:00AM during the semester.

It is nice to read someone else is aware of the power of access and space... I try not to forget there is an assumed privilege, responsibility, and level of maturity that comes with access.
