Due to the University of Delaware’s largest freshman class, 25 percent of freshman will have to live in triples.
The University of Delaware is going to house more students with three in a room in residence halls, due to a large class size.
WDEL-AM reports that the largest freshman class ever is arriving at the university this fall.
Kathleen Kerr, executive director of residence life and housing, says the university will take a double room and add another bed and desk. Kerr says tripling up doesn't appear to affect students' quality of life. She says their grades are typically higher and that a lot of students enjoy the social environment. She also says students find other places on or off campus to study.
Kerr says 25 percent of first-year freshmen will be in triples this year. That's compared to 10 percent last year. She says it's randomly determined.
