Real estate is extremely pricey and the number one priority for a university in the US is making money. We have a lot of universities here with 50k, 60k, even 70k students enrolled, so you're either packing people in close and forgoing things like windows for a lot of residents, or building a lot of sprawling housing. One is obviously much more affordable for a college student in the US.
- xg15 5y agoThis is Bonn University's largest dorm: https://www.studierendenwerk-bonn.de/wohnen/unsere-wohnheime/wohnheim/roemerlager-am-jesuitenhof-1-3-53117-bonn/ https://www.studierendenwerk-bonn.de/wohnen/unsere-wohnheime... 575 single-occupancy rooms with individual bathroom, kitchen and window(!) in two buildings with a total footprint of ~9600m². Seems pretty packed to me.
