Recap: Population increase

So there're news going around that next year, they are going to try to fit three people per room at Miller.

Now our room is considered relatively spacious, among the college dorms, but fitting three people per room is pushing the limits. I'm not even sure how it will even work out with the furnishing. There will have to be a bunk bed, that's for sure, and the other bed will have to be lofted so a desk can fit underneath it because along with the extra bed you'd have to make room for an extra desk, extra chair, and extra wardrobe.
That's not counting all the stuff that each student brings in.

Not only that, but there're also news that the IS program will be installed in Thompson and Alder's too (the other two newer buildings next to Miller)...all at three people per room. That's a lot of ISers for next year. (Compared to our...what? about 100ish this year? That's 100 + 1/3 of 100...times 3....) But even THAT's not all. The IS program is expanded because it works by percentage...and I've heard that there're so many new freshman next year that there's going to be about 700 students with no dorm room. (Davis has a policy that guarantees housing for freshman, so I have no idea what they're going to do to maintain that policy.) Lillian will testify: usually if you're a freshman in good standing you can inquire to stay in the dorms for the following (soph) year, and usually they say yes (also, not many people make these sort of requests). This year it's been negations so far.

I've heard that the UC enrollment will have to increase for the next year...but THIS much? Eh?

11 days, 4 finals, and lots of packing and cleaning.
