NU: The Brothel Law

So any of you who live in New England know about outdated brothel laws. Many schools cannot have sorority house because the town or city defines a certain number of women living together as a "brothel." Well Evanston, the town that Northwestern University calls home, will begin to enforce one of the towns old brothel laws on July 1 of this year, the Daily Northwestern reports.

But this you run-of-the-mill "no more than ten women in one house" kind of deal. Oh no, this bullshit law prevents three or more unrelated people from living together. i shit you not, three unrelated people won't even be allowed to live together. Well, NU students, you just got a big old "Fuck you" from the town.

So of course now NU is recommending students move farther from campus, well no shit dude. What college kid can afford to live with one other person or alone in a house? Not many I've met. Students are pissed off because the law being enforced will essentially crush any aspect of community at NU. Nothing breeds school spirit like all of your off-campus students taking the same public transit bus thirty minutes to get to campus. That just makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy inside.

This is probably the dumbest thing I've heard all week. What the fuck does three unrelated people living together have to do with community? If anything it fosters a community outside of the nuclear family home. And I never understand places where colleges are fucking the college over. Like, hey guys, your whole economy is based on our students spending money at your bars and stores etc. So why the big ole middle finger? It just doesn't make sense. If I was a student at NU, I would be furious. In fact, I am anyway and it doesn't affect me one bit. It's still stupid though, and I hate stupid.
