Dorm Dilemma: By Cate Mackenzie

As college students, the last thing we want to worry about is where we’re going to live. That’s where on campus housing comes in handy. Well, at least it used to. In 2021, VCU’s Johnson Hall completely shut down due to mold, kicking out 400+ first year students. Since then, the on-campus housing situation has continued to be quite the dilemma. Dorms are filled to the brim with students, and some can’t get housing at all. In this episode, host Cate MacKenzie chats with both VCU students and admin to figure out why these issues with housing are still happening years later, and what’s being done to fix it.
