This is a great idea - in our dorms at Platteville there were 8 outlets. Not so great when you and your roomie each had blowdryer, secondary hair apparatus, computer, computer speakers with subwoofer, and printer. Then there was the fridge, the microwave, the TV, the Gamecube, the SuperNintendo, the alarm clocks, the desk lamps, and of course Christmas lights!

My off-campus housing, an unofficial GPhi house, was actually worse. Our slumlords didn't ever update the house - we had 3 electrial outlets in our bedroom that worked - for a while. Then we were reduced to two. We had to get the adapters for grounded outlets, and then had daisy chains - I had NINE power strips in there to get everything turned on.
