Miami University residence halls close to full capacity

The new semester brings busy dining halls, crowded sidewalks and large groups of traveling students. This year, however, the groups may linger longer than usual. Struggling to find a table at Maple Dining Hall or squeezing in the back of a lecture hall could be a long-term issue. Bethany Perkins, assistant vice president and director of admission, said that at the start of the term, Miami University reached 98% capacity for on-campus living students. This has caused complications that concern campus comfort and practicality.
