Graduate Study Lounge Now Open to All Students

The university has decided to change its policy about Perkins Lounge. Previously, this study space was reserved for graduate student, but the university will now allow undergraduates to use Perkins Lounge as well. The Dean of Students explained: "The space is underutilized right now-there aren’t a lot of graduate students making use of it-so there’s room allow additional students.” She also noted that the university has a problem with insufficient study space for undergraduates, since undergraduate enrollment at the university has increased in the last few years.

Narrator: Now, listen to two graduate students discussing the announcement.
Man: Did you see this?
Woman: Yeah. I was a little disappointed.
Man: Did it's true that there really aren't a lot of grad students in there?
Woman: I know that I just don't see why that's a bad thing. I think it's perfect the way. It is now.
Man: Why is that?
Woman: I mean the fact that it's never packed, that's exactly why we like it. It's a quiet space to set and think it's really nice to have a place to spread out our books on the table, especially when we're working on research projects.
Man: Yeah, that's true.
Woman: Since we have a lot of work as graduate students, it's really nice for us to have a space that isn't noisy and crowded.
Man: Yeah. And if they do this, it won't be that way anymore. In all fairness, though, the undergrads do need somewhere to go, right? Especially since there are more of them now than there used to be.
Woman: I know. I just feel like to really address that problem, the university should designate extra places for them specifically.
Man: Like where?
Woman: I know they're building a new dormitory, so maybe they could add a study space for them there. That way they could leave this one just for us.
Man: Hey, that's a pretty good idea.
