Amherst Overenrolled

Do we really have that much housing, to be giving Hampshire students housing for a second year in a row? I remember room draw being pretty full this year, even the Hill was more populated this time around compared to room draw '06. I know we’re gaining Charles Pratt and some upperclass dorms, but we’re also losing Drew House, which is pretty full usually (and other dorms too, right?). I highly doubt all the overenrolled first years will all fit in North, South, Appleton, James, Stearns, C. Pratt and 3rd floor Williston. So… where are they going? Val, like the overenrolled 09s? And similarly, where are the opt out kids going then? Sounds like Amherst might be in for a little mess, and reslife must be pulling their hair out. I can’t imagine we have the housing for 100 Hampshire students, too.
