Private..but not Private

Privacy can be interpreted in many ways, but one concept remains constant and that is that people want whatever is private to be held out from the public's eye. For me this is anything that regards my personal self such as medical records and my ability to to speak to someone without it being overheard by a third party. What if a university were able to tell the students what they were allowed to have in their dorm room, would students really enjoy their experience at college? Probably not in the regards of that it is college, people's first time to be able to make decisions on their own. If universities were telling students what they were allowed to do how would one become their own person and find out what they could bring to society. These universities that do that, in an extreme possibility, could be hindering some form of utility being brought forth to our world. One could relate privacy and intellectual property together in the form that if copyrights and patents are offered in order to spark the creation of creative arts and science, these universities telling the students what they are allowed to do/have are not creating any innovators for the world. Of course these colleges are teaching them the regular classes but the biggest part of college is figuring out what kind of person an individual really is and how they can best help society through their personal reflections on what kind of person they became throughout their freedom of choice throughout college.
