Students travel along the main walkway between Dole Street and the Hale Aloha towers. TAYLOR MORRIS Contributing Writer The ďŹ rst week of school was a hectic time. With students moving into the dorms and starting classes, it was a week that some found overwhelming. One of the major issues on campus is the lack of available
student housing. There are many students in need of rooms. Nick Sweeton, associate director of housing, said, “currently we’re about 100 percent full.� According to Sweeton, ap proximately 3,600 students are living in the dorms this semester, all of whom moved into student housing prior to classes
starting last week. As move in began, new residents scrambled around, trying to get their new homes ready for the upcoming school year. Students moving into the dorms may have felt prepared, but they were soon rushing back and forth to stores for forgotten necessities. Students have already re-
ported issues with housing. The great amount of electricity being used overloaded outlets, many of which stopped working. Most have since been fixed. There are still bathroom locks missing and broken, making some restrooms nearly useless and at least inconvenient to everyone on See Dorm life, page 3
