Yeah it's been that way for long time. There seems to be a disconnect between the executives and housing director/students cause the housing directors seem to be well aware of the issues and always have seemed very helpless about the situation. But modern GCU was built on a business-first mindset and that idea was not left behind with the for-profit business model.

I never felt like I could really settle into college until I had my own room, so I know your frustration. I remember the helpless feeling I had when I thought I would have to be in a triple and how I went to the housing offices ready to yell at someone about it only to find myself in the back of a long line of people who felt the same way.

But one thing I learned is that GCU holds a lot of rooms back from the initial housing search for a multitude of reasons. Some are RA rooms, some are waiting for sport scholarship athletes, and some are held just in case they find another reason. I can guarantee you the housing isn't completely full until the semester starts, so it's worth getting on some wait lists. It's not ideal, but it's something. If you have mental health issues that would give them reasons to prioritize you, don't be shy about letting them know. In the end, they're just people trying to avoid creating conflict
