@Mastadon Cornell clearly wants all freshman together on North Campus, that is the only place they put freshman. They are building some new dorms to be open in 3 years, but Cornell has a huge housing problem, and they are constrained on how many freshman they can accept, in part due to their housing limitations.
yes… clearly if they wanted to they could spend millions upon millions to build housing for all 20K students… but they don’t see the value in doing that apparently
