Housing Plan Is Unfair

|

In theory, the Office of Residential Life's new housing plan is a good one. It makes sense for seniors, who have been at the College the longest time, to have the best housing on campus, followed by juniors and then sophomores. But, given that the Dartmouth Plan makes it impossible to predict the numbers of students on campus in any given term and that for the past three years there have not been enough beds on campus fall term to meet the demand, the new housing policy is unfair. The new system unjustly punishes sophomores, who are likely to be on campus in the Fall term and who do not have the advantage of Summer term to look for housing. If recent trends continue, there is a good chance there will be a waiting list this fall for on-campus housing.
