While the option was open for students to relocate out of converted lounge spaces or tripled rooms in university dormitories this semester, some students like Alison Deathe chose not to leave.

Deathe, a freshman fashion merchandising major, lived in a tripled room in Foster Hall last fall and was contacted during the fall about available vacancies, but declined the option to move.



"I was e-mailed about vacancies, but chose to stay where I am," Deathe said. "Space is an issue, but I love living in a triple and living with my friends."
