I'm not from IU, but we had sleeping porches in my house and I actually liked them? We had a few different sleeping porches to choose from - one was the traditional large room filled with bunk beds and open windows, and then we had a few smaller porches, one was for quiet/light sleepers, one was the rowdy porch, etc. The thing I really liked about them was it meant if you wanted to be loud at 3am on the 2nd floor, you never had to worry about waking up your roommate or the girls down the hall, and then the floor with the sleeping porches had 24 hour quiet hours.
Also, at least on my campus, the alternative in most of the other houses was this weird system where the juniors and seniors were the "room owners" who got to sleep in the room and decorate and then the sophomores would get a desk and a closet and still sleep on the sleeping porches. I still remember one house from rush where some of the sophomores had their closets in the hallway. So having everyone on the sleeping porches seemed better to me.
That said, I lived in for three years and by my senior year I was done. Two really would have been enough.
