When I was living in SW it was rumored to be the most densely packed population on the planet. Is this true? Or was it an urban myth?

According to http://www.housing.umass.edu/reshalls/southwest.html there's 5400 students living in SW. Doing some rough calculations off the Delorme US Atlas, SW is about .52 of a square mile. This includes the field west of the Berkshire DC.

That would equal a population density of about 10380 per square mile?
