  • On-Grounds Housing Options


    (from Housing Today, Sept. 2004)

    Location, convenience, security, room features and maintenance are a few of the many good reasons to live on-Grounds. According to the September 2004 issue of Housing Today, Location! Location! Location! Three good reasons to live on Grounds next fall! You will be closer to classes, bus stops, libraries and eateries. Stay where the action is – choose your favorite spot – and live on Grounds. Also remember – we're flexible. You may request a room change, if necessary – a luxury you won't have off-Grounds.

    Convenience! Utilities included! Don't hassle yourself trying to remember to pay those utility bills. If you live on Grounds, your electricity, water, heat, and local telephone charges/instrument/voice mail are included in your room rate. There are no hidden costs to come back to haunt you. Prompt and efficient service is as close as your telephone.
