About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog for BIM100! My name is Colleen Bowes and I am currently a student at Pennsylvania College of Technology at Williamsport, PA. My major is Interactive Media and Web Design. We learn to integrate skills in web design, social networking, and so forth. Before I came to Penn College, I was a student at Upper Merion High School. I played soccer all four years there and my position is goalie. In school, I took mostly all art classes and a couple technology classes. I took some basic coding so I have a good background of general HTML and some CSS. For art, I can paint, sculpt, draw any medium. After learning that the art field for a career is looking glum, I decided to put that into technology, which is a growing field. With that decision in mind, I obtained a dream, and that dream is to work in Disney Studios. I have loved Disney ever since I was a child and just knowing that going into this major, I could one day, achieve that dream. For my regular lifestyle though, you could say I am a quite unique woman. I love playing video games, watching anime, playing soccer, watch a ton of movies, but also love being in the outdoors as well.

Expectations for BIM100

I expect to learn from this class is to use social networking to my full advantage. Like making money through blogger and what not. I want to use whatever I learned in class, to its fullest potential.

Overnight Visitation Policy for On-Campus Housing (Rose Street Commons) at Penn College

So, here on campus, there are rules that I find "unfair". Here the summary Penn College provided:

"A guest in a College Housing unit is any person who is not a resident of that particular apartment and whose purpose is to visit for a short time with another person who is a resident. Violations of these rules are subject to disciplinary action. Guests are only permitted to stay overnight on Friday and/or Saturday evenings. Overnight guests will also be permitted on evenings when there are no classes being held the following day; however, overnight guests are not permitted prior to a designated study day, at anytime during the end-of-semester finals period, or prior to the first day of classes at the beginning of a semester."

 Here are some rules: 

  • Need all resident signatures (If can't get one to sign, they cannot stay overnight)
  • Need signatures of Coordinator residence life
  • If under 18, cannot stay overnight
  • Guests need to be accompanied at all times
  • If guest isn't registered, consequences will take action
  • Host students are responsible for everything their guests do
  • Even if someone lives in the rose street commons, if staying the night at a different hall, still have to go through the same procedure
My Opinion

So my opinion on this matter is that I frown upon some of these rules, but at the same time, find them fair. One rule that I do not like is the under 18 rule. Maybe, i'd like to have a younger family member or a close friend stay at the dorm for the night; it's like a sleepover to them. I am fine with all the residents signing saying that the visitor can stay, but guests don't need to be accompanied at all times. They are grown-ups like us (If over age). As well as what they do, it is their choice. There is one rule which I cannot stand though, which is the last rule on the list above. I live in the Rose Street Commons and I should be able to sleep at any hall I want to since I actually go to this college. If I am within the gates, with the consent of the host, I should sleep at another hall without going through the whole procedure. The good side of the rules, I know they made these to keep the students safe and secure. 

Here is the site where I found the Policy and its regulations: Residence Life Policies, Regulations & Guidelines
