Most universities these days also have their buildings locked with an RFID lock that responds to a valid university ID. To get into the buildings you will have to "tailgate" on someone else, which looks really sus.

I graduated university two years ago. Anybody would let anyone in to anywhere unless you looked long term homeless.

You could randomly tap the glass and people would let you in.

Have you ever been to uni? Tailgating is performed on a regular basis, even by ppl w/ cards that are too lazy to take them out of their backpacks.

meh, it's pretty common for students to lose/misplace their ID cards. where I went to college, people would usually let any college-aged person follow them into a building without a second thought.
