Housing placement for fall 2004 frustrates senior class

In addition to those who were stuck with a housing problem, students who see themselves as campus contributors are also in a bind of where to live next year.

"I understand what residence life had to do and the policy they had to follow," Stefanie Ciarrochi, special education/elementary education major, said.

"But I think it's unfortunate for the students that are significantly involved in school that might have to drive 20 or 30 minutes to class, meetings, or other on-campus events."

Ciarrochi is currently on the waiting list for Harcum College housing, which also will give her the opportunity to possibly get back onto Cabrini College housing for the fall semester.

"Residence Life was definitely dealt a bad hand and I think they did the best they could. I just feel that they could've possi- bly done a little better if it was more thought out and if they had alerted us of this problem before January. This would have given students the opportunity to better finance their living conditions next year. It's just a shame that approximately IO percent of seniors will be residing on campus next year and that the senior class has been in a way, torn apart," Ciarocchi said.
