sounds like you're approaching this subjective with a really negative outlook which I also remember feeling before rushing. It's not really a matter of "encouraging" PNM's to move in on bid day, you basically have to. There are very VERY few circumstances where other arrangements are allowed. Theta will say they don't have sleeping porches but they have rooms with 8-10 girls sleeping in them so call that what you want. KD is the only house that truly doesn't have any sleeping porches. That being said they're really not that bad at all. Every house does it a little differently and this will be clarified during the house tour round but the most common approach is where each house has 1-4 separate porches that have anywhere from 10-30 beds and they are "24 hours dark, 24 hours quiet". Then you'll typically have a closet, a dresser, and maybe a desk in a separate room for you to call your own. This way you don't have to deal with getting woken up by your roommates especially if you want to nap during the day. Sleeping porches can be a great place to escape to if you just need quiet time or want to watch netflix in bed or whatever. You typically won't find any "storage space" inside the actual porches because that's what your room is for. Typically food is not allowed and most porches will all be "respectful" because sleep is a very unifying cause that everyone cares about. Living out junior year is way less common but almost every house that I know of allows seniors to live out
