I think if Harvard said they were putting 8 kids in every room and charging double and feeding them oatmeal for every meal, people would still line up to attend. The competition would come when Yale said it was offering luxury singles with maid service daily, or Stanford said they were having 5 star chefs in all dining halls. It might pull a full of the top Harvard students out of line, but there would be 10 more students to take their places.
If U of Idaho said they were having singles AND gourmet dining? Not much movement from those HYS lines. On the Quinnipiac tours next year, the students will see the 8 student rooms and decide for themselves if they want that experience. Some will, some won’t.
