Should the present continue to be implemented, it's a reasonable bet that a fair number of the approximately 400 students who will be forced to live off-campus will end up living in Harvard-owned rental property--a fact that has presumably not escaped the notice of the University Coupled with the additional expense of living off-campus is the inconvenience of travelling back and forth to the College While it may be argued that residents of the Quad Houses face similar difficulties, most non-resident students do not have a shuttle bus to terry them to and from...
...make. The stated rationale is the need to case overcrowding in the Houses. In trying to do this, the College must have faced two options: reducing the number of students admitted as freshmen and transfers, or maintaining the same number of entrants and requiring some percentage to live off-campus...
...first alternative clearly implies some reduction in income for Harvard if tuition rates remain unchanged, but it assures those students accepted the full benefits of a Harvard undergraduate education. The second alternative maintains income but imposes penalties on two groups of students, one of whom, the incoming off-campus freshman, must be chosen somewhat arbitrarily...
...stated goal. It has admitted approximately the same number of resident freshmen--assuring that overcrowding within the Houses will not be reduced as these students move into the upper classes. It has also admitted a slightly higher number of transfer students and granted entrance to a larger group of off-campus freshmen. The economic benefits to the College are clear, but such apparent duplicity and lack of concern for the interests of the undergraduates are troubling to say the very least...
Food officials at the six institutions pointed out that direct comparisons might be misleading. Most universities have a far greater percentage of their undergraduate populations living off-campus than Harvard. At schools with fraternities or, as in Princeton's case, eating clubs for undergraduates, a large number of students don't participate in any meal plan, even if there are several options...
