The housing crunch at Iowa State University isn’t expected to ease this fall as projections show another increase in enrollment. ISU president, Steven Leath, says they’ve taken steps to address the problem and expect to have enough campus housing.


Students have been housed in the dens of the dorms on a temporary basis in the past until housing becomes available. Leath says the number of new students expected this fall has been changing.


Iowa State has seen several years of record enrollment and last year had to turn away some 200 students who requested on-campus housing.
