I have not had a home phone line in years, so it did not occur to me that universities still provided phone lines in their residence halls. Earlier this week there was a article on kotatv.com that said…
In a cost cutting measure, the University of South Dakota is getting rid of dorm room phones after finding more than 80 percent of students don’t bother to use them, opting for cell phones instead.
Eliminating phones in residence halls will save USD $168,000 annually.
About South Dakota State:
According to the USD website their undergraduate enrollment is 7,098 and 25% of the undergraduate population lives on campus.
