Arkansas Tech University in Russellville is experiencing growing pains again this year.
Despite opening a new dormitory last year -- more than one-hundred students are being put up in local hotel rooms.
There`s simply not enough room for them all on campus.
Students, however, aren`t complaining.
"They said a couple of weeks, but hopefully it will be longer because I`m enjoying it right now," says Russell Hodde, a freshman staying at Super 8.
The hotel situation is just temporary.
Tech expects dorm rooms to open up on campus in the coming weeks.
