Triples and the housing survey

I lived in a triple my entire freshman year (even after being given the option to de-triple), it wasn’t that bad at all. The housing survey is new, so I think it’s just a process of getting the kinks worked out - just unfortunate this class gets to be the guinea pig. My roommates were assigned completely randomly, so even with the problems you’re having this still sounds like an improvement. I don’t mean to tell you your problems are insignificant, of course, I do hope it gets better. More importantly, the university is in the process of getting its plans for a new dorm complex approved by the city zoning commission, which is meant entirely to eliminate the need for triples (no significant housing has been built in a few decades, although most of the dorms have been nicely renovated in the past few years). While they likely will not be complete in time for your daughter to take full advantage of them, the current plans are currently online on AU’s website if you’re curious as to what’s in the pipeline.
