Fewer students choose dorms
reversing a decade-long trend
By PAUL DANZER
Although more living options
are available, students aren't
packing the University re
sidence halls like they used to
For the first time in 10 years,
supply exceeds demand for the
University’s housing facilities,
according to the director of the
University housing department
Nevertheless, 150 more
students signed up to live in the
halls than the department es
timated in January, says Direc
tor Dan Williams.
As of last week, 2,646 re
sidents had been admitted to
residence halls As many as
2,800 students could end up in
University housing facilities,
Williams says
Williams is astounded by the
number of students who have
elected to live in the halls. "That
is a dramatically higher number
than we had anticipated," he
says.
The late summer rush to the
dorms has forced the housing
department to reopen halls that
they did not plan to use.
Last week, the department
re-opened Thorton halls in Bean
Complex and the first floor of
the University Inn. More
reopenings are anticipated
Student options range from
coed or single sex halls for
freshmen, upperclass and
graduate students, single or
multiple rooms, and more lux
urious living at the University
Inn
Among the more popular re
sidence halls are the special
interest halls. Academic pursuit
halls, which offer 24 hours-a
day quiet hours for enthusiastic
students, are the most popular
of the special dormitories Ap
proximately 300 res
idents are living in the academic
pursuit halls this year, accord
ing to Marge Ramey, assistant
director of housing
The other special interest
dorms include an international
studies hall, an environmental
hall and a creative arts hall.
Residents in these halls par
ticipate in activities in their area
of interest throughout the year
Students living in the re
sidence halls are served three
meals a day Meals are served in
three dining halls, and residents
are assigned a dining hall ac
cording to which of the seven
housing complexes they are as
signed
Breakfast is served from 6 45
to 10:30 a m., lunch from 10:30
a m. to 2 p m., and dinner from 4
to 6:30 p m.
The cost for room and board
for the year is $2,127 for re
sidents in standard campus
multiple rooms. A single room
on campus or a University Inn
multiple costs $2,762 and a sin
gle room at the University Inn
costs $3,587 for the year
The University Inn is a high
rise coed complex located five
blocks west of campus. Each
room has a bathroom and a
telephone and weekly maid ser
vice is provided.
Each dorm complex has
laundry facilities, television,
vending machines and recrea
tional facilities.
Area directors for each com
plex administer individual re
sidence halls Each complex
also has a student manager who
assists the area director with
administration and takes charge
of the complex in the director's
absence
Each dorm has a resident as
sistant (RA), a student living in
the dorm who coordinates dorm
activities and helps resolve
problems that arise at the dorm
Resident assistants also help
the dormitory advisory board
plan activities and projects for
the dorm residents Each com
plex also has a President s
Council, which helps set policy,
plan events and physical im
provements for the complex
