Readers following The Triangle on Twitter offered their thoughts on a Aug 14 blog report saying that RLO will house some students in the lounges of Myers, Kelly and Calhoun Halls.  So far, our readers aren’t bothered by it…

“It’s been done before, why not do it again?  The Kelly lounges are going to make a nice dorm room,” points out a reader with the Twitter name mchoun

That’s true - students have been housed in lounge space before.  Here is a 2005 Triangle article with more info

For another Twitter follower it was the late application that made the policy acceptable.  “Converted lounge space isn’t optimal; but in fairness, it only affects students who applied for housing after the deadline,” said Twitter user dmhallowell

The Triangle got a response from RLO Assistant Director Jennifer Calvert saying she would get back to us with more details.

What about the rest of you? Ever lived in lounge space? Let us know!
