The appearance of a school's dorms is important for potential students in deciding if they will attend the school or not. The older dorms on the campus of North Carolina Wesleyan College are not in good shape and barely meet comfortable living standards. The rooms are entirely too small for in most cases two people to live in. The rooms are hot in the spring and cold in the winter. Many residents don't even have working air conditioning or heat. The furniture is extremely old and most of it is falling apart.

It would benefit the school tremendously by constructing new dorms because if the living arrangements at the school were improved it could start to rub off on people that the school is making strides to get better. The way to go about this would be to generate interest amongst the students and student life. Meetings would have to take place with high-ranking officials of the school to hear what people have to say about it. Once everything is agreed upon, a method of payment would have to be devised as well as a place for these new dorms to be constructed with all of the improvements such as the addition of a shower and toilet, reliable air conditioning and heating, and better quality of furniture. Finally the construction would take place and the dorm problem would be fixed. The time it would take for the school to actually want to build new dorms and get everything ready for construction is unknown but, if and when construction begins it could take anywhere from three to twelve months.
