Every answer we got was different we could not find one popular trend. But at this point, people aren t up in arms over it, they re almost accepting it. According to Chauhan, many students preferred the pub s previous location along the Five Minute Walk. Many students, in UTM s diverse population, don t drink. According to Chauhan, some residence students said they were scared about the consequences of being caught intoxicated while walking home from the pub.
Many students stay home to study and they leave their social time for the weekend.
According to Chauhan, some students with part-time jobs use Thursday nights to study and they are used to not coming to pub. Chauhan said several students had no answer when asked why they don t come to pub. They said they weren t going anywhere else on Thursday nights, but they wouldn t come to pub because their friends wouldn t come. This attitude is contagious and it seems like interest is fading every year. The pub doesn t have a good reputation anymore, she said.
