Question about housing at UA

Housing now seems to be trying to work with us, a change from the initial attitude of “suck it up, buttercup.”

I wonder if some upperclassmen who were paying for their dorm room have decided they don’t want to pay and be stuck in a single room as a double. Housing will release people from their contracts without penalty, assuming people can still find off-campus housing. Maybe some will cancel, opening up some rooms where those who decided late in the game to attend UA can be doubled-up together at the very least, and hopefully get their own individual room.

I know problems could be much worse. But I still want what I signed a contract for, darn it!

If Housing thinks my daughter can live with only 5 square feet of closet space, I’m going to make the Housing Director herself come supervise move-in day and serve as referee as two girls go through all their possessions deciding what they can keep with them and what has to return home until a single room is available. :)
