[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]During room draw this past week for fall 2026 housing, students at Pomona College have reported trading and bidding for housing selection times — including thousand-dollar bids and internship offers. The essay is here: https://tsl.news/pomona-students-report-buying-and-trading-room-draw-times-due-to-housing-crisis/[/quote] What a horrible experience and source of stress! Side note: we visited the 5Cs in March (to visit after being admitted) and it was 97 degrees and it felt so, so hot. I didn't realize SoCal got that hot so early. Most dorms don't have AC and the ones in the 5Cs that just added room AC units (e.g., CMC), the students told us they didn't work well.[/quote] It doesn’t normally get in the 90s in March in SoCal. It was record breaking heat. But with global warming, it may become more common.[/quote]
