Best way to pitch it to the schools, I would have to say the exposure to all of the super nerds that would be staying at their college are looking into programs through the college at the same time.
MTU has the Summer Youth Programs running all summer, so DHH would be out for dorms. Unless they were to open Wadsworth for teams :/ The SYPs also use a lot of areas on campus, so I can't see MTU holding a residence-available-on-campus off-season too soon.

Kettering opens dorms? Huh?
