(STATEWIDE) At least two U-W System schools are expecting record enrollment for this fall, and are trying to figure out where those extra students will sleep.
Last year about 1300 freshmen enrolled at U-W River Falls, creating a 200-bed shortage in its residence halls. Alan Tuchtenhagen, Associate Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Services, says his staff will soon discuss just where to put this yearâ??s batch of freshmen. He adds that while first and second-year students are required to live on-campus, even upperclassmen are staying in dorms, which he attributes to the economy. (Fourth item.)
