By restricting these freedoms, i think the college is also restricting their students' ability to learn.

That could be true, but many people do believe that those things are more distractions then an essential part of learning. I know several guys that went to all-boys Catholic high school, and I'm sure all of them would say that they were less distracted at that time then they are now. Whether that is true or not depends on the person.
