For the 1987-88 school year, the multiple room rate is $2,368. which is about $265 per month for full room and board. The single room rate is $3,075. For single students cooperative living is among the least expensive. Students living in cooperatives share in the household duties and serve as the management of the household. Surrounding the University campus are six different cooperatives. Philadelphia House is a Christian men's cooperative. Christus House is a Christian coed cooperative, and Chelsea House is a Newman Center residence. The Campbell Club, Parr Tower, and Janet Smith are all coed living residences. Within the cooperatives students work together to run and maintain the houses. The number of students in each house varies between 24 and 42 depending on the house. Rooms in the cooperatives are singles, doubles, and triples in some houses. Prices for cooperatives are approximately $2.(K>() for a double and $2,400 for a single each year. Fraternities and sororities are another available option. The University Greek system con sists of 17 fraternities and 12 sororities. Both organizations require that its members go through rush activities before being accepted. As a part of rush, interested students meet the existing members of the fraternities and sororities and visit the houses. The average cost for a frater nity or sorority is $2,700 per year. For students with families the University operates 650 apart ments in three locations around campus. Family student housing is available to married and single parent families. Openings occur infrequently and applications are accepted only once each term. Amazon contains two bedroom, unfurnished units for $120 a month. Westmoreland has one and two bedroom fur nished units for $115 and $144 per month. Hast Campus Hous ing consists of 120 units that range from studio-size to five bedroom houses. Off-campus housing provides a myriad of options for students. There are houses, duplexes, apartments, quads, trailers, and rooms for rent. Houses and duplexes are the hardest to find. One bedroom places tend to be the most scarce and can range in price from $180-270. Two-bedroom places go for $230-375 and three or four bedroom places are about $325-600 per month Apartment complexes abound in large amounts in the Eugene/Springfield area. Apart ments closest to campus tend to be the most expensive. Studios range in price from $140-200 per month. One bedroom apartments range in price from $160-250 per month. Two bedroom apartments are $240-330 each month and three bedroom apartments start at $350. Many rentals require nine to twelve-month leases. Cleaning deposits, fees, and security deposits may also be required. Some rentals do not allow pets or children. Quads are another option chosen by many students. A quad consists of a single sleep ing room and shared kitchen facilities with three other units. Bathroom facilities may be private or shared. Prices for quads range from $150-280 per month. A lease is required for most quads, but students may find another per son to take over the lease if they want to move out before the lease is up. Shared housing is a largely popular option among students. Costs are rather inexpensive, ranging from $110-175 each month. All that is needed are a place to share and people will ing to be roommates and share their space. Along with each type of hous ing comes advantages and disadvantages. Marie Taylor, an elementary education student, found that living in the dorms and a cooperative were nice because there were always peo ple around "But.” she said, "always having people around can also have a negative effect. "Living in a cooperative gave me more independence than living in the dorms, but it also gave me more responsibility. Taylor said. "Basically. I have to rate group living far above the isola tion and loneliness of apartment living." said Joel Diegleman. a senior in religious studies. "When it comes down to liv ing in the dorms vs. cooperative living. I'd have to say that cooperative living is more realistic whereas the dorms become their own sterile universe." Diegleman said. When looking for housing many sources can be used, Newspapers, realtors, lawn signs, and word of mouth are a few good sources. Also, the ASUO has made available an Off-Campus Housing office to help students find what they an; looking for.
