Yes, no one praises the lack of windows, because it'll be weird to be thankful for something normal that is missing. But the lack of windows aren't just a middle finger to the students, their absence allows for greater freedom in design of the building. So you have students praising the relatively large private rooms. Which would not be possible without the lack of windows.
- mpalmer 3y agoNo one said there was praise about the lack of windows. I said there are no positive comments from students quoted in that piece other than the guy who would feel trapped living there.

There are all sorts of features — air conditioning, game rooms, balconies, flat-screen TVs in every suite — that would make it the nicest dorm on campus.” He also appreciated the project’s bike-friendly infrastructure
