According to the housing changes for next school term, the upperclassman-dominated Georgia Hall at VSU will be reserved for underclassman, and with that change, Hopper will now only house upperclassmen.

 In all honesty, this is ironic to me.

 When you think about the situation, it seems as though Hopper and Georgia are switching places as far as living requirements are concerned. I don’t know how this is going to affect incoming freshmen, but the popularity of this decision could go either way when it comes to the students.

 I have no problem with the change because Hopper is actually an amazing place to live, from what I have seen; however, I am positive that some students may feel a bit underprivileged because of the change. Now that the incoming freshman will be required to live in the more polished dorms on campus, this may seem like an unfair advantage to the other students who were unable to reside in one of the better halls.

 Also, we have to consider that every incoming freshman may not want to live in Georgia. It may be the best looking hall available, but it is not the only option. I’m sure some students will still apply to one the conventional halls as their first option. Perhaps there will still be a few spaces left in Georgia hall for those who may have nowhere else to go.

 There is also a new rule that freshman will no longer be allowed to have overnight visitors. I think this new policy will cause a lot of unforseen issues in the years to come. The complications are two-fold; the incoming freshmen may also feel robbed of certain privileges the current freshmen have.

 These issues with the residence halls are bound to get students worked up, so VSU should prepare for a plethora of questions and concerns for the upcoming semester.
