    My experience is actually in the UK, but based on anecdotes from friends, it’s similar in the US.

    In my case, in one of the years, I could apply to stay in university accommodation over the Summer, but the room I was allocated for that was tiny, so I needed to get some storage anyway. It’s annoying as hell

      Yeah its ostensibly to do stuff like pest control and maintenance (and my dorms really needed such things), but you’d think you could basically offer a “I’ll keep my arrangements through next year” deal and get summer housing.

      My university actually did have apartments and I think my friends were able to stay over the summer in those.
