Boston University has a chronic shortage of dorm rooms at the start of the fall semester and houses the overflow in nearby hotels, including the Cambridge Hyatt. Usually enough dorm space opens up by the start of the spring semester to move everyone on-campus, I wonder if these were students still living in the hotel?

I remember seeing a newspaper article (possibly in the Boston Globe) on the subject, but I can't seem to find it now. Wikipedia also mentions this, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_University_Housing_System#Hotels:_The_Hyatt_and_Holiday_Inn_Brookline.
