The residence hall study rooms and lounges used to house students early this term were vacated as of yesterday, and should be returned to their intended uses by next week.
Eight students began the term living in converted lounges, down from a maximum of 24 who were assigned there during the summer at the peak of the housing crunch.
But because of some 98s that never showed up and a few upperclassmen who decided not to come at the last second, the remaining students were assigned rooms last Wednesday and Thursday, according to Associate Dean of Residential Life Bud Beatty.
Those students had until yesterday to vacate the lounges, which will take about a week to be converted back to their intended uses.
Last term, the College's enrollment committee commissioned an ad-hoc committee of students, faculty and administrators to address the Fall term housing shortage.
The committee should meet for the first time in the next two weeks, Beatty said.
