<p>@mrm001, I’m just being nosey so don’t feel you have to respond. Did your daughter originally sign up for student housing and then change her mind? I don’t understand the requirement of paying for on campus housing this year? My D moved off campus but she decided last September so we never signed anything with the school. </p>
<p>I’m sure there are many freshmen that would love to be out of their triples especially with the heat the last few weeks. I think the biggest difficulty with moving to the Towers for a freshmen is they would be so far in the minority that it would likely make it a more difficult situation to endure than being in a triple. There would be little way to make other freshmen friends let alone upper class friends other than your suite mates. The towers are a pretty closed door type complex, you kind of move in with your friends and that’s it. I think my D casually met two other girls on her floor the whole year and that was just to say “hi” in the halls. She moved in with 4 rooms of 4 so she had a good social life with those she knew already. As cramped and hot as the triples are now at least all the freshmen are together and in a community they can create life long friendships in. One of my friend’s daughters went to Towson a few years back, she was placed in a triple in a non freshmen building. It was a disaster and she transferred after the first semester, she never felt a part of things at the school. Is the entire suite open or just your D’s bed? </p>
<p>I understand your frustration for paying for a product you are using and I hope an upper class men steps up and wants the bed soon. I’m thinking worst case scenario perhaps in the spring when the transfers come in someone may be able to use it. good luck to you and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you that someone needs that room soon!
