Trunk Chest
Posted in Garden Antiques on 11/22/2009 05:58 pm by adminCan a College Search Your Room and Open Chests, Drawers and Trunks?
I have a trunk that is under my bed, I was wondering, if it is closed and locked up, can the college open it? If there is nothing inside of it except basically clothes, last semester books, and other things.
Nothing illegal is in there but I'm just wondering can a college, open it or do you have to give them your permission?
Also can a college open you fridge to see what is in it? If its your personal mini fridge, and not the school fridge?
I don't know if the college can open your trunk, but I used to do room checks when they were needed, after winter break, and we never went into a student's room without cause. The exception was if there was a smell, and for that, we'd target the mini fridge. When there was a smell, we'd open up the room and go right into that mini fridge, and it didn't matter if it was your fridge or ours. But when we did that, we didn't care what you actually had in there - we threw everything in it away, stuck some charcoal inside, and left you a (not very nice) note. If there was a smell and it wasn't from the fridge, we'd be looking for pets (which were not allowed), hoping not to find them dead, and we'd also look for old food around the room, in case that was the cause of the odor. For that, we might glance under the bed, but certainly not into a trunk or box kept under there.
If a student is suspected of doing something illegal, then the police can do a full search of the room. I don't know the rules around that one, but I've seen it happen.
And the rules may be different at your college.
