My daughter is going off to college in a few weeks and we are
getting ready for the big move. CMU
just sent us the “Carnegie Mellon Family Handbook” – a booklet
full of information about Academic Life, Student Services, Campus
Activities and Services, etc. I found the following formal definition
of Quiet amusing. I can only imagine how many discussions
and arguments and incidents it took to get a definition this precise:
-
Community Standards at the Residences
Quiet Hours
-
Quiet hours are maintained weekdays from 8 pm to 8 am and weekends from
2 am to 9 am. “Quiet” may be defined during quiet hours as being unable
to hear any noise from a room with a closed door ten feet away, above and
below. Courtesy hours exist at all other times. During courtesy hours,
noise which is heard by others who are 50 feet away is considered a
disturbance.
