Campus Village Properties owns and professionally manages student housing units which are located on some college campuses in the mid west. Most put their application in early to reserve a room for the fall. Just think no more dining hall hassles or cramped dorm rooms. The rooms come fully furnished as well as connected to the university computer system. Residents may also share the house phone to cut down on expenses or elect to install a private phone.
Most students have their own private bedroom but many do share a bathroom.
There are also traditional apartment units available on some campuses. But as much as this is like apartment life, it also has its differences. For example, there are no required 12 month leases. Your contract is for the school term and you will not be stuck trying to sublet in the summer. And forget about deadbeat roommates who will not pay their way.
