"There's no way to succeed in such a high pressure environment like those college years with so little space and so little privacy." I lived in Stanford for four of its most overcrowded years... as a junior I lived in an tiny two bedroom apartment that had three people in it, because the university needed to get extra people in and didn't have the space. Obviously a ton of things wrong with this building, but the idea that this will cause people to have "so little space and so little privacy" ignores the fact that UCSB is in a tremendous housing crunch right now. Adding more housing isn't going to suddenly create a space with little space and privacy... that's the current state of affairs, and more housing will alleviate it. You have to examine this in the context of the university, not in a vacuum.
