There are rumors and
I sincerely hope that these are rumors, that some of the sorority and fraternity housing at my daughter's university (UCSB) might not open in the Fall of 2020. (Seen on the UCSB Parents Forum Facebook page.) She's not involved with Greek life but if the news is true, that it's very likely that it would add to a growing housing shortage.
In recent years, UCSB has had to triple all of its incoming freshman in their residence halls. Now it appears that number will be reduced to double or even single occupancy. Typically Isla Vista landlords have been reluctant to rent to freshman. If freshman now have to seek housing in IV, and more Greek life members are also having to find other living arrangements , this will compound the problem.
Very, very glad that my daughter had already signed her lease on her apartment back in February 2020.
