Campous Life vs. Individual Morality

                In Elisha Dov Hack’s essay College Life versus My Moral Code she explains how colleges, Yale in particular, are basically accepting the fact that single people having sex is ok. They have signs on campus telling where to get condoms and signs saying you don’t have to have sex in order to show affection why don’t you take a nap together or even a shower. These are things that thirty years ago would have been appalling to see in dorm rooms. College students now a day have to make decisions on where to go to college based on their morality instead of how good of an education they want. As mentioned in the essay Yale forces freshman and sophomores to stay those years in the dorms on campus forcing them to put their moral standards to the test. Students have enough stress as it is focusing on their studies and trying to get good grade so they can move on to something better, but now they have an added stress of sex, parties and other things like that to harm their moral standards.

                There are some colleges that hold conference for the students and forces the students to go which say they are educating the students to have safe sex. These conferences are a joke, they are supposed to be trying to deter the activity instead they are saying that it is acceptable and inevitable, and then at the end of it they pass out condoms to the students.  Colleges seem to just want a reputation of “yeah that college was a good academic college but it also had great parties too” which is ridiculous; most colleges look past that and advertise their good academics and downplay the sex part of it all. The shocking fact is that colleges say it is ok for this stuff to happen so people think I can get what I want, which leads to a problem; if people think they can get what they want and then they don’t they get violent. Take the sex for example some guys get drunk try to hit on a girl and get angry when they get turned down, the shocking fact is that most unreported rapes happen on college campuses(95% of College…). So think about it if colleges did not allow sex and drinking so freely how would college life be? Personally I think it would a safer and better environment.
