Office buildings have the same layouts with windows at the ends and cubicles in the middle. I doubt the patrons feel stuck in a temperature storage facility. I prefer Munger's layout after looking more into it.
IMHO it's a terrible layout but not for the lack of windows in bedrooms. The pod shared space is basically useless. Why do students on a meal plan need a full kitchen? What are they going to do with a single big table? Why use 1/2 of each pods exterior wall for windowless bedrooms?
The common space should be the entire exterior wall. It should be a living room instead of a kitchen/table combo.
The proportions are off too, IMHO. The pod living spaces are too small and the great rooms too big.
