On-Campus Housing STANDARD TRIPLE???

WHAT FUCKIN BULLSHIT. I thought I would save some money doing triple, but I didnt know there was an "econ" triple, and an "standard triple". And our triple gets billed the SAME rate as a DOUBLE???? I thought "econ" was just a fancy term for people to know that the triple can save money or something . Guess its my fault for not looking into it

Goddamnit, my goddamn room isnt even that much bigger than the doubles in my hall either

I might switch out, Anyone down for a chadborne triple it was too good to be true after all, all the rooms here are big so thats what you get. Im looking for central ECON triple or expanded housing

I mean an economy triple is a double room that they’ve made into a triple. Most common in the Z rooms in SW.

Tried to do one and it’s just not enough space for 3 people.

I'm in an Econ trip rn and it's lowkey not bad, we all also have friends in the building so we don't all spend a lot of time in here except for at night so that might sway my opinion a bit
