Wow, it’s very clear some of you haven’t been in college in a while!
This is very common, so much so I’d say that I’d find it very odd for someone to decline the request… especially freshman year, there’s always OOS b/gfs visiting. It’s just one weekend, and a hotel is a big expense for college kids.
This is honestly such commonplace that I’m shocked at all of your responses as I have never seen/heard anyone in my friend group complaining about it, we kinda just accept that it happens and lend each other our floor! lol
