According to Munger that was, indeed, the whole point. His dorm design focused on making the common areas nice places where people would enjoy spending time, while optimizing the dorm rooms for bed-related activities. It seems like a reasonable strategy.

Unless you’re an introvert in which case this design is maximally wrong.

You don't even need to be an introvert to want a quiet place to study that isn't also as dark as a closet and entirely without fresh air.

Yes, but I'm trying to phrase my response in a way that even the most unrepentant of sociopaths can understand.

Though I doubt introverts desire a roommate, either.

Ideally the common areas are plentiful enough that you can enjoy some solitude outside of the sleeping room (at least for some of the day).

There are other dormitories on campus. One size doesn't fit all, but you've got to work on the margin.
