Greek Life House Living

“There’s always a sister in need at any given hour or the house mom is dragging a boy from an off limits area.” –Alex Buckner, Resident of the Alpha Phi House
“There’s always something going on and there’s always someone that wants to bother you, so staying focused is really important. –Matt Brow, Resident of the Sigma Nu House
Downtown House Living
” It’s nice to be downtown because you’re close to class. Even when it snows you can make it.” – Lisa Cardone, Resident of Spruce Street
” It’s a lot more expensive. You also sacrifice quality and parking even though you pay much more.” – Steve Thompson, Resident of Spruce Street
High Street Apartment Living
” You have to deal with the endless hobos asking you for money when you walk outside your apartment.” – Mike “Wook” Jefferys, Resident of High Street
” Best part is living close to all the bars. Especially in the winter.” – Mike Tattoli, Resident of High Street
Off Campus Apartment Complex Living
“The bad thing is it’s so far from downtown. I would usually have to drive to class or take the shuttle bus which is annoying.” – Vaness Molush, Resident of the District
” It’s nice because it’s quite. There’s a pool and gym too.” – Phil Hecker, Resident of West Run
Grant Street Housing
” It’s dirty from all the construction and it’s a long walk to anywhere downtown. Construction messes things up. But it’s right by Ashbrooke so thats cool” – Joe Dobrzanski, Resident of Grant Street
