With the addition of students living in Greek houses and commuting, Troha thinks that Baker can maintain an enrollment of 900 students before any new housing needs to be constructed. According to Vice President of Enrollment Management Annette Galluzzi, the prospective enrollment for new students next fall is 283, and the prospective enrollment for returning students is 521. If these goals are reached, the university would have a student population of approximately 805, which is well below the occupancy number projected by Troha. If enrollment continues to increase within the next few years, housing could become more confined, and students may lose the option to request a single room. Troha and Layton both know that if this happens some students may be unhappy.
Students seem to like single rooms.
Hunt also knows that not allowing students to request single rooms will make some people unhappy, and she thinks students, especially upperclassmen, should have the right to request a single room. I don't think that we should take away the option of single rooms for upperclassmen. Baker's administration and students will both have to wait to see what happens with the future of housing. Much depends on enrollment and funding. If both are abundant, Troha said he most likely sees continued improvement in the existing residence halls, except for Denious.
