You're bound to us now. That is not right and it is time for a change in policy. Student housing should offer dorm rooms to those who need them, with the ability to cancel until the end of the summer. It is hideous to make students decide on their living arrangements at the end of spring semester four months before those living arrangements will come into play. A lot can happen in four months.
Financial situations can change and family situations can change.
Student housing is being money-hungry and arrogant. Student housing, you're here to provide a service. If so, let me enlighten you. Service is something you do for someone else, with them in mind, not yourself. You are here to provide a service for students.
