He seems kind of spoiled to me. My apartment has two windows. The one in the bedroom is always closed because my wife works the night shift and needs to sleep during the day. The other window always has the shades drawn because I'm too lazy to put on clothes and don't want to bother my neighbors with kids when I get up at 6:30AM each morning and do my VR boxing practice in the living room.

Pretty sure plenty of college students would be OK with the false window shown in the article for reduced cost. The ones that want the outside rooms with windows could pay more. Upgrade the false window to a free OLED TV and students would probably pick interior over that for the same price. Plenty of office buildings have windows that don't open, and college kids with windows that do open tend to throw TVs and the like out of them, so I doubt exterior rooms with windows would even have openable ones with a building that tall.
