48 West: value, convenience and comfort BY ALLISON OTT
So, here you are reading the Lanthorn trying to decide what to do next. This is the whole reason you went away for college to gain freedom and have options. Maybe you are thinking of putting down the paper right now to head to the mall and get a new shirt. Maybe you are thinking about getting some food… or just maybe you are thinking about housing for next year and should be on your way to 48west to take a tour. Why should you be looking into 48west? Because it offers exactly what you are looking for, freedom and options. At 48west you have the ability to study in the commons in a private study lounge or relax at the hot tub and social lounge. You can work out in the fitness center to the point of passing out or you can recover in the theater while watching the next episode of Dexter. You can hang out in your apartment where you have your own room and bathroom or you can shoot pool with all your friends in the game room. We offer you all the options you should need
and the freedom to do it all 24/7. What else can 48west offer you? How about community events and a green environment? At 48west they offer events to get you out into the community, to meet your neighbors, and help you make lasting friendships. They are also able to do this all while maintaining a green environment. Recycle bins are on property to help cut down paper waste, environmental light bulbs are in all apartments, and most things can be done on line to prevent waste right down to applying. Current resident Andrea Tarrant had this to say: Choosing to live at 48west was an easy pick. The apartments are awesome, having your own bedroom and bathroom is always a plus, and there are a bunch of different styles to pick from so you have a lot of options! One of my favorite things about 48west is the commons area. It’s the perfect cozy, quiet place to study when you have a big test coming up. They also have a free tan-
ning deal with Forever Sun which is really cool, and I always take advantage of the fitness center because they have everything I need there and it’s open all day and all night. But, the best part about 48west is all the events they put on! They really try to make it a community and a home away from home. The events are a great way to get to know your neighbors and other residents. Events range from resident dinners, girls night out, Griffins games, block parties, Pinterest nights, March Madness competitions, cooking classes, bonfires, super bowl parties, zumba & yoga classes, self-defense classes, pancakes at midnight, philanthropic events and so many more! Now is the time to find your housing for next year, it’s not too early to tour and apply right now! I know you’ll love it once you see it! Take the advice of one of your peers .
