On v. off-campus housing debated among AU students
The rising demand for on-campus housing along with rising costs may send more students looking cheaper alternatives off campus for the next year. According to Julie Weber, executive director of Housing and Dining, more than 2,700 students currently live on campus, and an anticipated 3,100 will apply for 2,850 on-campus spaces next fall. According to published rates by AU Housing and Dining, next year's on-campus housing costs will increase by $380 a year for a double occupancy room.
