The college is looking at alternative housing to accommodate additional students, including married couples. Negotiations are ongoing and private, Sonnenberg said. The Worthington Campus of Minnesota West Community College relies on apartments adjacent to the campus built primarily for students by a St. Cloud corporation, said Mike Fury, director of students. Of the 800 some students on campus, many attend classes part time, and a majority commute. Placement is similar to a dorm assignment, Fury said.
Students often room with strangers.
We've had them since the eighties. Availability was 1.3 percent last October, according to a 2000 Maxfield housing study.
