Furthermore, students’ additional dinners in dining halls will help address the issue of dwindling House community. Dining halls remain the most logical and practical apparatus in cultivating these important communities, thus an increase in the amount of time students spend in the dining hall will undoubtedly facilitate achieving that goal. If HUDS decides to open only “neighborhood” dining halls until 8:30 p.m., however, House communities will be further split?...
