Staterooms, Not Dorms, All Thanks To Mold.

ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. -- Kimberly Fitzgerald, a freshman at St. Mary's College of Maryland here, loves it when people ask where she lives. ''It's a good story to tell,'' she said. That is because Ms. Fitzgerald and 239 schoolmates live on a cruise ship that was converted into student housing after an outbreak of mold shut down two dorms on campus. The closing forced students into hotels miles from campus, and Ms. Fitzgerald, 18, stayed in a Holiday Inn that was a 45-minute drive from campus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
