What next, are you going to restrict your students from listening to music? Socializing with each other outside of class? Watching movies?

Why would I? Those are all extremely stupid ideas.

If your students have such restricted internet access in their campus housing than that's pretty much what you are doing.

di.fm is blocked. - No music.
myspace/facebook - no socializing
google video - plenty of historical and educational content, inaccesible.

If your students are not allowed to use the internet for entertainment does your school also expect students to have no life? I too would like to know the name of your school.

I go to fullsail (fullsail.edu) where students really don't have a life because of 40hrs of classes per week, 3-hour lectures followed by 4-hour labs every day. Still, our internet access is not restricted by content. Some ports are blocked to prevent people from hogging up the wireless with torrents or online games while in class. Other than that you can go to any website. There is currently no campus housing but if there were, even port blocking would be unacceptable.
