Re: Suggestion: Beds in the library

After 3 years at HKUST, I can conclude 3 things.

1. Universities are concerned with shameless people with too much freedom... and illicit activities.
How do I know? I've been trying to get them to put couch beds in the library and they (librarians and fellow students) shot it down. I thought the students could be much smarter.

2. The library is obsessed with OPENESS. It's also another word for MINIMAL PRIVACY. Everything has to be glass and/or transparent.

3. The library also hates a mess. The HKUST library still looks like a refugee camp everytime I go back. If you add beds, it would look too disgraceful for any self-respecting nerd.

Speaking of nerds and the like, even the new ones have found cleaner rocks to hide under.

But I do like the pillow one.
