The Homeless Sophomores of Ole Miss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzfflgLUy1M
In recent months there has been much talk about the upcoming sophomores living arrangements for next year. Considering the freshmen classes grow bigger in size each year, housing has decided to make Crosby Hall and all other dormitories freshmen-only living facilities. Housing also made the decision to tear down Miller Hall to allow more room for new dormitories to be built. Next year's sophomores have been provided with offers from Campus Walk, Campus Creek, and the Connection, along with other housing around Oxford.

The students that are most affected by this decision are mainly sophomore women who are in sororites. They have always been given the choice to live in Crosby Hall during their sophomore year and to live on the floor their sorority allotted for them. Sophomores who were not in a sorority could also live in Crosby Hall, along with other freshmen who filled up the leftover spots. However, this next year sophomores will be forced to find other housing off campus. I sat down with two Ole Miss students to talk about the pros and cons of living on and off campus. Nelson Endt, a junior, has lived off campus since his sophomore year. Charli Costa, a freshman, lives in Crosby Hall and will be living in the Connection this coming fall.
