Why is the alternative automatically a triple room with no common area, and not simply a single room with at least a window (plus a common area)?

- thehappypm 5y agoBecause that's what this proposal is replacing.
- dEnigma 5y agoBut the real alternative is another (better) proposal, not keeping things as they are.
- thehappypm 5y agoSure, but the school can't justify spending triple per student than standard dorms cost. Even with the gift, the school needs to be financially responsible, and making a huge leap in quality of life would seem financially irresponsible when thousands of other colleges squeeze kids into forced doubles and triples. This is a step towards giving students both privacy and spaces to socialize, with some drawbacks that are a consequence of not having infinite funding.
