As graduation approaches, some stu
dents are moving on with their
lives, and others are just moving.
Housing options may seem end
less, but with a few tips you can make
sense of the madness.
Many students elect to remain in the
residence halls for a second or third year
due the convenience of living on cam
pus. With meals, telephone, Internet ser
vice and custodial care included, a stan
dard double runs $5,350 per year.
Housing Director Mike Eyster admits
the residence halls aren’t for everyone.
Senior EMS major Jamal Ryan agrees.
“If you can survive the dorms on this
campus, everything else will seem
plush,” he said.
The University also offers off-campus
apartments at competitive rates for stu
dents over 21 and those with families.
Apartments are a common alternative
to on-campus living. There are hundreds
of complexes in the University district
with prices ranging across the board.
The closer you get to campus, the more
expensive the apartment. University stu
dents get free bus fair, which is a valuable
convenience when living off campus.
The average one-bedroom apartment
ranges from $450 to $500 per month.
Studio apartments tend to be more
pricey, depending on location.
Quads located near campus are heavi
ly advertised to students. With four bed
rooms attached to a shared kitchen,
quads offer a low-cost option to those
who want to move out of the residence
halls. Alder Street Quads, and Sun f)ial
Quads offer competitive rates. Prices
range from $250 to $300 per person.
Fraternities and sororities located on
campus offer a cost-effective alternative
to students who enjoy group living.
“It’s cheaper, the food is better, friends
are easier to make and it feels more like a
home,” said sophomore journalism major
Amanda Dicke. She joined Kappa Delta last
year to get away from the residence halls.
With rates averaging $4,000 to $5,000 per
year, greek life is a popular alternative.
Eyster said students have a tendency
to grossly underestimate the cost of liv
ing off campus. The average college stu
dent spends $100 to $150 on food each
month. Cable, Internet, phone and long
distance services can often add up to
more than $100. Utilities, laundry and
transportation are additional considera
tions students should take into account.
