These apartments also have more spacious bathrooms than other on-campus apartments. The new residence hall and apartments do cost a little more than other on-campus housing choices. An open house was held on Feb. 2 at the new apartments. Padgett reported that approximately 400 to 500 visitors came to see the latest addition to on-campus living. Transportation and security are other topics that have been discussed for the east campus apartments.
Security is always a concern.
The CAT bus will be stopping at the Lightsey Commons Building for the students in the new apartments. The Commons Building is about the same distance to most of the apartments in the area. According to Padgett, because of the number of new students that will be living there, another bus stop could be added in the future if there is a need for one. Many other changes concerning University housing are also currently taking place. Johnstone E and F will be closed after this year.
