With dorm space tight, University of Maryland forced to turn lounges into rooms and add roommates

Would someone be willing to summarize this article. I can get a little bit of info from the title but since I am not a baltimore sun subscriber, I can’t read the article. As a prospective student applying to UMDCP this year, I would not like to be assigned to an overcrowded dorm room or one without a lounge. Is this a common occurrence? Was this a one time thing due to over enrollement or does this happen regularly? TIA
