CMV: All Commuters should be required to live within a 30-minute bus drive to attend their university
# Definitions
* **Commuter school:** A college/university where most students travel to college/university for classes and then go home afterwards because of other responsibilities (e.g. job, family, etc).
* **Social life:** An aspect the college offers to student/faculty/staff members to engage with the university outside of academics (e.g. Student organizations (aka clubs), university-sanctioned events (e.g. college sports, music concerts, etc.), parties, traditions (new or existing).
# My Thoughts
It's not uncommon for my university to have students commuting at least 30 minutes to 2 hours to arrive to the university or depart back to their homes. Forcing all of those students to live within a 30-minute bus drive from campus is ultimately necessary because there are academics studies that found that driving affect one's physical and mental health, so not only would this solution cut down the need for them to commute but also reduce the overall traffic of the city. Why travel that long when one can go to another university that will offer the equivalent program?
Doing so would, as a result, improve the overall social life of the university because these students would then have t
the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s where people will push back Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
I get the idea, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s the part people are stuck on Others will probably see it differently.
If we’re being honest, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that friction is hard to ignore
this comes across more reactive than planned and that friction is hard to ignore Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.
At first glance, the follow-through is what will decide this Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From a practical angle, this solves one problem while creating another and that friction is hard to ignore This could age very differently in a week.
the timing matters more than people admit which is why the comments look the way they do Curious how this plays out.
Honestly, this solves one problem while creating another Interested to see the follow-up.
Reaction: Every year it becomes worse
On the surface, this reads stronger on paper than in practice At least from my perspective.
Looking at this, this reads stronger on paper than in practice so the response doesn’t surprise me This could age very differently in a week. Others will probably see it differently.
Reaction: Jiggle physics
From my side, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that tension shows up immediately
Reaction: Me_irl
Just reading this, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here Time will tell.
there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s why opinions are all over the place That’s the impression it gives me.
From a neutral view, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That part stands out. That’s the impression it gives me.
