Housing has X number of spots and there are just too many first year students wanting rooms. The Oregon area high school just have bigger graduating classes so all the public Oregon institutions are seeing large enrollment increases. UO is not a land grant institution so it does not just have space to make resident halls on. UO does not have a live on requirement.

Are they that hard up for money like the rest of us. but it the long run the student does not get a fun "dorm life" first year college experience. Maybe parents can sleep better knowing their offspring is enjoying the college life off campus. Why over admit for the amount of room they have.

Oy. It's awful because the students don't get the same services as they would on-campus (like lock-out service, maintenance, programming)... At UW when that happened, they had students sleeping in lounges on cots for awhile, which is just crummy. If you guarantee housing to first year students, enrollment management needs to only admit as many people as they have space for.
