I live in Stoke hall and for the most part the people on my floor do not leave their doors open. I am on the all girls hall and I'm at the far end. When people do leave their doors open it just makes everything seem more friendly and welcoming whether or not you even talk to the people in the room. When all the doors are shut it just seems like everyone wants to be to themselves and not with anyone else on the floor. It's lke they want to shut everyone else out.
