The reasoning was too encourage people to hang out in common areas to create more of a community feeling. Whether you think that's necessary or a good idea (I went to college long ago, but there wasn't any need to have architecture diving our community), it's not the same as a dorm without windows.

- watwut 3y agoThat sounds more like abusive logic then wish to help anyone. "I do it for your own good".
- KennyBlanken 3y ago"There are no windows except in common areas, thus it's not a dorm without windows" is such a strange hill to try and die on. > I went to college long ago, but there wasn't any need to have architecture diving our community Ah, that explains it.
- SuperNinKenDo 3y agoAh yes, the horrible living conditions in this dorm ade actually to encourage you to not stay at home, ignore that they make the dorm mote space efficient, that is just a happy coincidence, I'm actually making your living quarters mote unpleasant because I care about communal life.
