“We have a virtually unlimited number of condoms,” Avery Williams a Resident Assistant in Arnold said.

The condoms are Durex extra lubricated and they cost over a dollar a piece at Rite aid.

“All RAs on campus have condoms as well as all Resident Hall Directors and the Brown House and they are all completely free,” Williams said.

Some students are shy about the free condoms on campus.

“I’ve had some students come in and try to start a conversation at four in the morning,” Williams said.

“I’ve also had students come wearing just their towel,” Williams said.

Williams is happy that students are being safe and doesn’t mind the early morning interruptions.

There have been rumors on campus that the free condoms on campus are not as good as the ones that can be purchased in the store.

“At the beginning of last semester people were complaining about the condoms breaking,” Williams said.

A group of men in Williams' suite filled a condom with water and it didn’t break even when it expanded to the size of the sink. Williams feels that the condoms are perfectly safe.

“It’s more likely that students just don’t know how to put them on correctly,” Williams said.
