[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had never heard of a "forced triple" until we moved DC into a Colby dorm.  How do colleges get away with this?  We wrote a $80K check for DC not to be able to study or have a closet or even a desk?

For our next DC, we are going to eliminate any schools with a history of this practice from our lists.  Not even going to tour.  These colleges should be exposed and held to account.

Wait - Colby is a small private.  DCUM tells me that only large publics do this.  HOW can this be true???

No one really cares. 
They care about advising, getting classes, and having a seat in an auditorium that isn’t larger than Rockefeller Center. [/quote]

I guess my experience is atypical, but none of those things mattered or were an issue for me, and what I learned in the first decade of my career (after undergrad) amounted to probably 95 - 100% of what I call upon today in my career. College is a social construct here in America for many of us. Building a career happens AFTER the undergraduate phase of life ends.[/quote]
