Making Room: Tufts addresses dorm shortage by expanding into Medford properties

Tufts Podcast Network

In this episode of the Tufts Daily Podcast, we focus on the university’s attempts to solve the lack of available on-campus housing by converting campus-owned properties into dorms. We first speak with TCU President Benya Kraus and Policy Chair Jamie Neikrie about the most recent of these projects, the Junior Senior Wood-Framed Residences in Medford. After, we talk to Shane Woolley, co-founder of the Tufts Housing League, about the group’s concerns about the project, as well as alternative approaches to making on-campus housing more available to students. Robert Katz and Arman Smigielski as Co-Hosts
