What should you know in order to help your student make a good decision?
STAYING ON CAMPUS
More loor plans to choose from
For second-year students and beyond, there’s usually a wider selection of room conigurations available, from singles to suite-style apartments. Pricing may vary.
Special-interest housing
Your student may want to consider residential communities that center
on a common interest or cause. Many universities have academically themed or interest-based learning communities, and more schools are offering gender non- speciic residence halls or loors.
College-owned apartments
They’ve been described as “apartments with training wheels.” Utilities and internet are included and, since there’s a kitchen, students may not have to buy a campus meal plan or can choose a reduced plan. Bedrooms may be shared or private.
Best of all, such accommodations are charged on an academic-year, rather than 12-month, lease.
