<p>yeah, for the Gateway practice rooms, they verify that you’re in a class and then do something on the computer that lets your USCard swipe you into the practice room part of the building. You also get a pretty sticker that says Thornton 2010-2011 (or 2011-2012, etc) to put on your USCard.</p>
<p>Anyone can use the practice rooms in the dorms, but the Gateway ones are MUCH nicer.</p>
<p>Also, there are two parts to the Gateway practice rooms. The front part is for anyone taking a music class. The back part has just as many, if not more, practice rooms, and is only for majors and minors. I’ve only been back there once, but I didn’t have any trouble finding a room in the back when the front was all filled up. So music majors/minors can practice in the front or the back, but non-majors/minors can only practice in the front.</p>
