This would completely limit our education. And destroy people who have not found anywhere to stay.

If they had planned to do this then they should have said it at the beginning of he year. So people could try and plan accordingly.

Just wondering how exactly this move fits into Auburn Housing's mission to "enable student success by creating and supporting welcoming, safe, and inclusive residential communities."

Not everyone can afford to live off campus, some use scholarships to stay on campus. People might not be able to attend Auburn if they will not be given a place to live

How does Auburn intend to retain their National Merit and Honors students? Is Auburn informing the incoming freshmen of their likelihood for housing after the first year? Does Auburn have a long term plan that is not being shared with parents or students? Why were parents not informed directly and immediately of this potential?

They should have made this announcement like 2 or 3 months ago.

Upper class men have put so much time and money into Auburn, they shouldn't be forced to pick up and move out on a whim.

The university's motivation for restricting upperclassmen to South Donahue seems to be that they want as many freshmen as possible to be guaranteed housing; upperclassmen are not likely to transfer or drop out solely because of a lack of on-campus housing, but incoming freshmen will look to other colleges if they cannot be guaranteed housing here. While financially understandable, this policy speaks to the university's lack of concern for current students at the opportunity of increasing its student population (and therefore the amount of money it makes from tuition and other fees).

The honors dorm communities for scholarship students were one of the reasons I chose, and later loved, Auburn. Living in a consistent campus community builds solidarity and the feeling of Auburn family the university claims to cherish. Taking away the option for upperclassmen to live on campus, particularly when many scholarships require it for funding and new apartments are being vociferously opposed by the community, is foolish. Combined with the already woeful state of commuter parking, it is madness.

If anything, upperclassmen deserve to be on campus more than underclassmen.

It is wrong not to let Junior and Senior's have housing in the dorms!!!!! Most of them have been there as a freshman and it is only right that they have the right to stay there if they want to.
I like campus
