Dorms are filling up while affordability and availability keep shifting in real time. A 72% occupancy rate in 2023 sits alongside a projected shortage of 2.4 million student beds by 2030, and that tension shows up differently across public campuses, community colleges, and rural schools. Follow the statistics and you will see why some universities add thousands of beds while others still run waitlists and let off-campus rents absorb the pressure.
