M: Did you see the announcement about the library staying open all night during finals? I think it's a great idea. I often study late, and sometimes I need to pull an all-nighter before a big exam. With the library open 24 hours, I can have a quiet place to focus without being kicked out at midnight. Also, having extra security makes me feel safer walking back to my dorm at 3 a.m. It's a real relief not to worry about being alone on campus.

❓ Pregunta The man expresses his opinion about the announcement. State his opinion and explain the reasons he gives.
