Not Enough Space

[Anonymous]

Why are colleges with a several year trend of students accepting admission continuing to accept more students then they have dorm space for…looking at you VT and JMU…

Very annoying.

Colleges have been doing this for a long time. Penn State used to put 6-8 people in the lounges as overflow and move them out as regular rooms became available. They would also make “dingles” (2 people in a single room) and “triples” (3 people in a double room). Somehow the numbers worked out by the end of the semester, I’m not sure if it was because of drop outs or people moving off campus.

Because they know some with "no show" or leave within a few weeks.

How do they became available? Kids drop out or change dorms?

Michigan is over enrolled this year too. They don't have housing for many of the kids taken from the waitlist. They're all in limbo.

Because they need the money.

Because it is hard exactly estimating how many students will accept an offer.
