@planner03 it’s the same at my D’s LAC (Pomona). Everyone pays the same for room charges even though there is often a huge disparity in the living quarters, including square footage, how many are occupying that square footage, bathroom convenience, and most importantly air conditioning or the lack thereof. Space is reserved for freshman and freshman can luck into some nice spacious singles and doubles. But my sophomore D has a single that’s 104 sq feet with one window that overlooks an elevated walkway (so there’s foot traffic going by all the time) and there’s a freshman next to her in a 130 Sq foot single with 2 windows with a nice view. But that’s the way the system works and virtually everyone lives on campus all 4 years. She has spent several summers working as a debate coach at debate camps at UCLA and ASU and thought the dorms there seemed like palaces by comparison, but she would never transfer and is definitely willing to put up with her small dorm room.
