[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^i[b]s it still “a great deal” if you don’t have housing and your classes are crowded and you’re treated like cattle???

Serious question.[/quote][/b]

Aren't you jumping to hyperbolic conclusions? How do we know they won't have housing?  Tech could be bringing in air-conditioned trailers as we speak.  How do we know they will be treated like cattle?  One PP says "a friend of a friend" had to stand in line in dining hall.  Oh the horror!   When we toured we ate at the terrific restaurants that have pizza, sushi, Japanese teppan, etc. etc.  The food is amazing at Tech.  Why don't you wait and see how Tech decides to handle it.[/quote]

Back in the 80's when I attended Tech the food was awful but freshman were required to live on campus and if you wanted to live in a dorm in subsequent years you had the option to do so.  The campus was (and still is) beautiful, the town was fun and the nearby mountains and New River - gorgeous.

The idea of them housing students in trailers parked around the campus is kind of sad.  Might as well turn the drill field into a tent city and the gym a public bath house.

I'm sure that they will figure it out.[/quote]
