My name is Katie Nicholson and I am a junior at Stephens. I was appalled with your article about the closing of the dorms. The author made it sound like this was a good thing; it is anything but. What the author did not make perfectly clear was that we, Stephens students, must double up in rooms. While this does not sound like a big deal, what is different about Stephens is we have no choice; we are required to live on campus, meaning the incoming freshman will have to live all four years with a roommate, regardless of choice.
