"No one likes going to UHS for anything," Kirk D. McKeown '00 said.
Although Alice H. Dubois '99 said she supports AEO's move to put condoms in the Houses, she is unsure if the program will reach students who currently do not practice protected sex.
"If you're a person who has safe sex, it's just an added convenience,' she said.
AEO is only installing the boxes in the upperclass Houses for now. However, there are plans to possibly expand to the first-year dorms after the AEO staff assesses the success of the boxes. Students will have a chance to weigh-in on the efficiency of the program through a spring survey.
Still, some first-years said they are offended by their exclusion.
"If they're going to put them in the Houses, they should put them everywhere. Why discriminate against freshmen?" Alisa Tantraphol '02 said.
Despite the exclusion of first-years, most students said they approved of the AEO project because they support the safer sex message.
"People often make the choice to have sex before they think about how they will protect themselves," Alina Das '01 said
