TO THE EDITOR:
As someone who camped out in line for a week to acquire a Morrison super suite last year, I can say it was by far one of the most memorable experiences of my time here at Carolina.
Difficult, cold, wet and uncomfortable, yes — but amazingly bonding!
However, I was disappointed with the Residence Hall Association’s immediate response of turning it into a lottery selection, in order to disband this shanty town.
For basketball games, I think students are fine with a lottery. But for something as important as their residence for an entire year, students should be given the chance to assure their spot.
Don’t turn housing selection into yet another stressful and nail-biting time of anticipation — I think we as students have enough of those.
