Sure! Probably better than the crappy mid-century dorms on many college campuses.

That would be my concern, but the article says there's an extra container that serves as a lounge/kitchenette and a shared quad. So I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Absolutely! That is really luxurious compared to the dorm my son was assigned at his school.

No, I know they don't insulate those well enough.
Sustainable my eye - it's a whole lot of heating and A/C costs!

yes, if it was at a school they wanted to attend and there wasn't a specific reason why not (like it wasn't up to fire code or was inacessible to my kid's disability).

Roanoke College is building new dorms. A village of shopping containers. Thoughts?
