Should curfews be lifted in college hostels?

As a student myself, my first and basic instinct will tell me to shout "YES!!!" "Yes, do away with the curfew...please?" And I am very sure that a legion of my fellow hostel 'inmates' will plead the same. It would be wonderful to go out shopping till the cows come home or going on dates without having to embarrass ourselves by glancing at our timepieces too often. Most of all, would it not be …

…just one way of showing care and consideration towards others. One way of making living with a curfew easier is to see it not as a restriction, but as a gentle reminder that helps us keep to our schedules. It is a guide that aids us in disciplining ourselves. In fact, would you not agree that we ourselves could sleep more soundly every night knowing that our friends and fellow hostel mates are safely home?
