<p>I think the real disagreement here is not what is happening, but whether it will matter. There will be more freshmen, and there will be more lofted triples. There will be more undergraduates using essentially the same quantity of resources: classroom space, faculty FTEs, foodservice capacity, chairs and electrical outlets in the library, etc.</p>
<p>If you find relative scarcity of resources bothersome, you’ll probably be bothered. If you don’t, you probably won’t be. If you love Brandeis enough to overlook some inconveniences, you’ll probably be happy. If you don’t, you may not be.</p>
<p>But I certainly think that if you look at this issue only in terms of dormitory space, you’re failing to consider a lot of the implications of increasing class size.</p>
