Kateisha Menefield
Second-year, psychology

“Yes ““ Westwood is a college town. And it should not be strict as long as students are smart about it.”

Alexx Robles
Fourth-year, geography and environmental studies

“Yes, because there is a huge demand for alcohol, and it makes sense to boost the local economy of Westwood.”

Kyle Nguyen
First-year, material sciences and engineering

“I’m neutral on the subject. I don’t think alcohol is bad, but people (tend to) overuse it.”

Matthew Boyd
Fifth-year, linguistics

“No, because alcohol is readily available. If made more lenient, we’ll see an influx of alcohol-related incidents.”

Nick Westman
Second-year, computer science

“It doesn’t make much of a difference because if people want to drink, they will find ways.”

Nate Wendorff
Third-year, economics

“Yes, (licensing should be) more lenient from a strictly economic perspective because regulation stifles the economy.”
