多所高校禁止学生挂床帘，网友吵翻……

There is a debate on whether students should be allowed to hang curtains around lofted beds in dormitories. Critics argue that these curtains hinder communication and pose fire safety risks. However， supporters see them as essential for maintaining privacy in shared living spaces. Netizens have flooded social media with comments， with the hashtag “many colleges forbid the use of dorm curtains” becoming a trending topic as people have many different opinions on it.

“Dorm curtains， when tightly surrounding the bed， can lead to poor air circulation， creating conditions conducive （有助于） to the growth of bacteria， dust mites， and other harmful substances. This poses a threat to students’ respiratory systems and skin health.”

“Dormitories are not only a place to rest， but also a place for students to build friendship.”“The presence of bed curtains inadvertently （无意地） creates ‘invisible walls’ within dormitories， hindering communication and interaction among students. Some students have noted that the presence of bed curtains reduces communication between roommates， leading to a more impersonal atmosphere in the dormitory. Over time， this sense of isolation may contribute to strained interpersonal relationships and even conflicts within the dormitory.”

Some people dismiss a fore-mentioned explanation as nonsense， arguing that dorm curtains are simply accessories for blocking out light.

Some netizens pointed out that what matters with dorm curtains is privacy. They believe that privacy reflects the need for well-being in narrow， shared dorms.
