<p>Contacted a woman at the music department. She said that access is granted to Thornton majors or minors, so since I will be a songwriting minor I’m allowed to use the practice rooms at Gateway. I just need to go to the music operations office in August with proof that I’m enrolled in a music course for the fall (which I am) and they’ll give me an access card. Anyway, I totally hijacked this thread, haha, but now that’s all taken care of…</p>
