Where’s that ringing coming from? In the College of William and Mary dormitories, it’s more than likely a student’s cell phone, university officials say.
A survey conducted by William and Mary two years ago found that 92 percent of students living on campus relied on their cell phones for outside communication rather than the land line provided for them in their dorms, said Deb Boykin, William and Mary assistant vice president for student affairs.
The lack of student use is one of the reasons the university decided to pull the plug on telephone service in its dorm rooms beginning next school year, she said.
