University campuses are popular, but there are also coordination troubles
University campuses have always been one of the places that off-campus tourists are keen to visit, especially in special periods such as the flower season, when major universities usher in the peak period of tourist visits, and the coordination between campus and off-campus personnel has also become prominent.
Chinanews.com learned that when colleges and universities were previously open to the public, it was stipulated that student dormitory areas, faculty and staff family areas, and areas where teaching and scientific research sites are concentrated are non-open areas, while libraries, gymnasiums, etc. can be entered.
At present, although many colleges and universities have resumed the access rights of alumni one after another, they have not yet fully opened to the society.
The staff of the security department of Wuhan University told Chinanews.com that the school is currently not open to ordinary tourists, and visiting relatives and friends of campus faculty, staff and students can contact school personnel to enter the campus.
24-year-old Cui Lei is studying at Wuhan University as an undergraduate. He told Chinanews.com that before 2020, Wuhan University has no access control and can come in and out freely.
"Before Wuhan University was a university without walls. The main entrance was an open archway. The school is located near the commercial street, and tourists often came to visit it."
Every March is the time when the cherry blossoms in Wuhan bloom, and it is also the time when the campus has the most tourists.
Cui Lei said that during this period, tourists often came to Wuhan University to take pictures. While the school was appreciated and recognized by everyone, there were also some troubles.
On the campus, there is a famous cherry blossom avenue between the student dormitory and the teaching building. During the blooming season, it is often surrounded by crowds, and there are tourists who poke their heads around the students during class, which affects the normal teaching order.

Ah Jiu lives near a university in Beijing. He used to play on the basketball court of a university campus, and sometimes he would meet the students who joined him. We can play together."
When it comes to university public facilities, he believes that some places where students study by themselves are not suitable for opening.
"However, for courts, I think it can be released when the school has no independent activities. There are relatively few public welfare resources in society. If there are more public courts or community courts, who will go to school?" Ah Nine said.
"What is useful is useful", colleges and universities should build and share resources with the public
Although the previous opening to the outside world had affected the order of the campus, Cui Lei still hopes to gradually return to the state of liberalization in the future.
"On the one hand, universities have public attributes, and some resources should be opened to the outside world; on the other hand, college students should not be kept in captivity." He said that while opening up, management should be strengthened so as not to disturb students' lives.
"When there are no classes during the winter and summer vacations, the resources on the campus can be used reasonably, and the ability to coordinate the open order is also a manifestation of the university's management capabilities." Cui Lei said.

Media worker Hou Zhiqian had gone to a university to participate in an event before, and was troubled by the issue of open permissions.
He believes that, as an important aggregation hub of urban cultural and sports resources, opening stadiums, green spaces and other areas to the public can be said to be the social obligation of public colleges and universities to "take and use".
"With the adjustment of the epidemic prevention policy, colleges and universities should open to the public in a reasonable manner under the premise of ensuring the safety of teachers and students and teaching order. The public participates in the joint construction of colleges and universities and shares abundant resources.”
Lu Linhai, a professor at the Nanjing University Institute of Education, believes that universities have the social function of civilizing and disseminating knowledge, and at the same time they should also assume social responsibilities.
"Universities are the owners and contributors of intellectual assets. They should not only provide some physical resources, but should also become the knowledge resource management centers of the society. In the future, they should gradually return to an open state in a moderate and limited manner." Lu Linhai said.
