Unfortunately, I have little insight on the topic of low cost triples. My daughter was in a triple in Goddard but it was not categorized as a low cost triple, probably because it was huge, at least as dorm rooms go. I do know that there are reasons why they are lower cost— either no AC, small room size, 3 people in a room meant for 2, or some combination of these factors. I recall from previous threads that bunking can create more usable floor space but I don’t know if any of the rooms are so small that bunking is the only option. If you check back through the archives you will find various threads that deal with low cost triples. I would start by searching on “Rubin”, “Brittany”, and “Hayden”, plus “low cost”, “triple”, LCT, and variations thereof. You will also likely find comments on the LCT options in some of the more general dorm threads. The best source for info, however, is the students who have lived/are living in low cost triples. If you don’t get a lot of responses, try again after finals.
