<p>I’m not convinced that an RA stating noise rules at orientation would have made any difference. Most people, even 18-year-olds, don’t need stated “quiet hours” to know that most people like it quiet in the middle of the night. People make noise at 3 a.m. either because they believe others can’t hear them, or because they don’t care whether others can hear them. Either way, knowing that quiet hours start at 11 won’t change the loudmouths’ behavior.</p>
