What quiet hours?

In my dorm quite hours are supposed to be from 7 pm to 10 am.  However, people on my hall like to make their own quite hours.  Typically I wake up at least three times a week to people coming back at 2 am and slamming doors, laughing loudly, and doing whatever they please.  On many occasions I have not gone out on a Friday night because I have had to wake up early on Saturday morning.  One time I had to get up at 4 am to go to a horse show, and I went to bed at 12 and was woken up at 2 am until about 3 am.  I  understand people are having fun but some of us have to be productive early in the morning.  Even on weekdays sometimes people are extremely loud until around 1 or 2 am.  I have early classes and try to be in bed around 12 and this is extremely annoying for me to deal with on a daily basis.  My RA is rarely in her room and fails to enforce the quite hours most of the time.  It's very frustrating and it's a main reason for why I hate dorm life.

More Closet Space

I think I speak for most girl, and maybe guys, when I say that the closets are way too small.  I know that the dorm room itself is small, but I can barely fit all of my clothes in my closet and my dresser.  I think that they should consider the fact that some of us live far enough away from home that we can't just take all of our winter clothes home and exchange them for summer one.  So I have to keep my winter clothes and summer clothes in my closet at the same time until I can make it home with most of my clothes.  It is very frustrating to have to shove my clothes place that they shouldn't be so they will fit!  I have lots of clothes and I wear most of them, so I need a bigger closet! If there isn't enough room for a closet then maybe they could make more dresser space.
