Key System

This weekend a friend of mine lost his keys, and then lost his lock out keys. He went to see what he should do and residential life had no solution for him. He had no way to get into the building or to his room since all doors lock on the weekends. He couldn’t even get into the residential life office because it is located in the east tower lobby which is locked. He had to pay 40 dollars to get his lock replaced and was stuck with no way to get into the building for almost a week. No doubt it was his fault for loosing his key, but it is definitely not an efficient system. Keys have shown to be a hassle and very ineffective way to get into the building. Waiting outside for someone to let you in and frequently getting locked out of your own building is not working.
