” next year but were told it wasn’t possible are going to have a lot to do when looking for somewhere to live.

Living on-campus is one of the best things a student can do. It gives people the opportunity to learn what living away from home is like without dealing with monthly payments for rent, electricity and water. On-campus, residences provide easy access to classrooms, faculty and offices, dining halls and other facilities. There are more opportunities and access to campus activities and clubs which adds to the sense of community.

The limited number of dorms is creating a lot of stress for new and current students. Overall, it seems there isn’t much the university can do besides admit less incoming students. There simply just aren’t enough open residence halls to accommodate the growing enrollment rate. Students are being left behind to figure it out for themselves.

As students, we are sometimes left in the dark on the university’s plans regarding housing. Will there ever be another dorm constructed to house students? Or will we be left with Coyote Village, North Complex, Burgess/Norton, McFadden and a big parking lot? All we know is that if the enrollment numbers remain this high, USD will be forced to find additional housing options in order to keep retention rates high.
