But it is worse at some schools.  I suggest joining the FB Parent pages at all the schools your kid is considering (or one for prospective parents, but the real one will give you more truthful details about the "good the bad the ugly")  Some are much worse.  My oldest kid never had "forced triples" or "forced doubles" on campus.  None of the dorms were luxury, most were older, but they always had enough space.

For my youngest, a "bad dorm" means you are a 10 min walk from the main campus in a not so nice dorm, but you get a kitchen.  And I've only heard of a few "forced triples", typically done in the absolute largest double rooms.  And it's maybe 1 room per floor of the dorm. Where as one of their other top choices: what used to be doubles has now been "forced Triples" for 5+ years (except for the first covid year).  So every bed is lofted and your desk and dresser go under the bed.  And every double in several dorms are now a triple.  Oh, and in a bad year, you end up in a hotel room near campus where the wifi doesn't really work (so good luck doing your work).
