College kids living in dorms are turning inward? Do you have proof of that or that is just a hunch?

The goal of making architecture promote socialisation is great. The complaint is not about the aim. The complaint is about how it is achieved.
Bedrooms with no natural light or natural air circulation suck. We don't build houses like this because it is not a good idea. Saying that your aim was to promote socialisation doesn't change that.
