These improvements seem to offer more than enough conveniently located social space for freshmen. And, furthermore, these are spaces that promise to encourage freshmen-upperclassmen interaction—a priority of the College—not insular freshmen socializing. Proponents of the plan to gut the basements argue that freshmen dorms should have the same amenities as the Houses: kitchens and large common rooms, for instance.
