Most buildings at MIT campus are remaining closed to the public
In France, the schools,  universities and pretty much any other establishment are closed to the public. After around 7pm, the doors are actually physically chained. So it’s difficult to get in or out even if you are a university staff, student or professor. In business hours, if you are a member of the university, you must present ID and pass through security or welcome desk (a bit like in companies). The irony is that these are publicly funded institutions!<p>Grocery stores also have multiple security patrolling the store. Funny, sometimes the security has to lock your bag with some tools when you get in, and cut it off (or search it) when you get out!<p>I wonder if it’s like that in any other country?
