a space. However, the necessity of
overflow housing in the past has led
potential residents to off-campus
apartments with comparable ameni
ties and a similar environment, Cow
ley said.
“Many students would prefer to
live on campus,” she said. “But if
the [housing] assignments they re
ceive are far from what they want or
if there is not enough room, their
parents want them in the same type
of place, with a roommate and cafe
teria access.”
When students are assigned to
housing they think is unacceptable,
Cowley said, they look to a place that
gives them close to what they had at
home with their parents.
In the housing assignments of
fice, students are served on a first-
come, first-serve basis. Upperclass
men have first choice on the
modular-style halls. .
Freshmen are assigned to resi
dence halls in the summer, and a
computer-based program places re
maining students in the next hous
ing prince range by a priority date.
As a result, more than 80 percent of
people vie for 30 percent of the
room space in the modular halls,
Thomas said.
If students have a roommate pref
erence, their housing preference is
forfeited and their priority date is re
set to match their roommates’ date
for assignment, Thomas said.
Students who have their own
room at home and want to keep the
same amenities come to off-campus
communities like Callaway House,
said Callaway House assistant gen
eral manager Marc Wade. Callaway
has an in-house cafeteria and room
mates are hand-picked on the basis
of their responses on preference
cards.
“[Residents] want it like Mom
made it at home,” said Ronda Cook,
a Callaway community assistant
and junior management major.
“Parents want to feel like their stu
dents will be taken care of, and
that’s what we look to do.”
Callaway has community pro
grams similar to on-campus resi
dence hall council programs. On her
tours, Cook emphasizes the conve
nience of having everything located
in one building. Students are across
the street from campus and can do
their laundry, check their mail, eat in
a cafeteria and take advantage of
study rooms in one place.
Rates, which include a meal plan
and can be as high as $ 13,000 a year
for a one-bedroom suite and as low
as $6,200 for a shared bedroom in a
four-person apartment, are more
daunting than they seem. Cook said.
“If you lump all of your living ex
penses into one yearly bill, then it
will seem overwhelming,” Cook
said. “But it’s a convenience here —
everything is taken care of.”
Unlike the off-qpmp.us Hying
communities. Residence Life js not
in business to make a profit. Its
rent prices reflect only the expens
es it pays to keep the halls open.
For the 1999-2000 academic year,
rent for double occupancy in a
modular-style hall is $3,420, which
includes phone and utilities. In ad
dition, residents are provided with
