Students are dissatisfied after on-campus housing selection and fail to see eye to eye with residence life. Residence life did their job by filling every space in the residence halls, and left students considering leaving Otterbein.
Otterbein University held the annual housing selection on March 28, 2016 in the campus center. Housing selection is a process where current students requesting on-campus housing are assigned their residence hall and room for the upcoming academic year. Students get to choose their room based on their placement on the priority list. Each student’s rank on the priority list is based off their credit hours, and priority points, which are earned by taking the residence life survey.
This years housing selection left a lot of sophomores unhappy based

“I only had three to five rooms for girls and guys reserved in garst because of late forms. In Garst I’m not gonna triple-up double rooms, in Hanby, I am. I figured upperclassman would rather a double, than a triple in Mayne Hall or Hanby.” said Director of Residence Life, Tracy Benner.
The student’s that were unhappy with their placement were given the opportunity to put themselves on a waitlist for their desired hall.
With the three year on-campus housing policy, Otterbein introduced a junior lottery this year. This was the first year that juniors that didn’t fit the “commuter status requirements” could lottery off of campus. “I often use this analogy, if you consider a glass of water, my goal is to pour water in there until its full, and it can’t hold anymore, but it doesn’t overflow. What the junior lottery for me is almost about, is having like a little spoon that I can take some out, but still having that cup full,” said Benner.
If juniors were lotteried out, how would they find a place to live when leases are due to be signed a couple months before in

Students are required to live in on-campus residence halls until they reach the age of 20. There are five halls in total, and while they are co-ed, each floor is dedicated to a specific gender. There are often private rooms available for students who don't wish to have roommates. There are also a couple of apartment-style buildings where older students can live on-campus. While there are no fraternities or sororities at the college, many residence halls have unique activities they engage in, leading to fun and bonding between the students of the halls, similar to Greek
The Landing Apartments have spacious one and two bedroom floor plans located in the Alamo Heights neighborhood of San Antonio. A supermarket, Lowe's and a Walmart Supercenter are all within walking distance. This apartment complex is also surrounded by the greenery of Sunset Memorial Park and Agudas Achim Memorial Gardens to the north and Salado Creek Greenway to the east. It's also only about a quarter mile away from Fort Sam Houston Joint Base San Antonio.
The location of Oak on campus is also a major selling point for a lot of its resident compared to North and the on-campus apartments because of its proximity to major areas on
Most of us are 18 and older; which means that we are legal and considered to be grown adults, if we wanted to we could go and buy our own living space without anyone telling us who we can have come spend the night or what times they can come and go especially when we are paying to stay there just as we would if we purchased our own living space. If we had purchased our own place to stay wherever that would be I’m sure that there will be rules that we would have to abide by as well, which is fine but if we didn’t abide by those rules we would most likely be kicked out and that’s how our campus visitation rules should be regulated. Also if the school can trust the upper classmen housing with no visitation limitations then they should at least try to trust the freshmen housing with no limitations on
Anxiety inducing, overly-complicated and a huge frustration are just some of the ways Syracuse University students described the on-campus housing lottery. But when it comes down to it, is there a better way?
Providence College is a liberal arts college, which consists of roughly four thousand undergraduate students, located in Providence, Rhode Island. One of the staples of the college has been the ability to live off-campus on Eaton Street starting in a student’s junior year. The attraction stems from most of the party scene on the weekends being at these houses on the streets bordering the campus. However, starting in the Fall of 2017, the school is implicating a new policy that juniors are required to live on campus. While the school is attempting to reduce disturbances in the surrounding community caused by partying college students, this housing restriction is only going to cause further issues for Providence College, its students, and
At Arizona State University, all freshman are expected to live in residential dorms on campus. With that, specific policies and procedures are implemented to ensure that all students get the best experience possible while at ASU. It is expected that all students will abide by the rules, and there are consequences to not following them that can affect one’s academic success and good standing in the university. By adhering to these policies, not only do you make sure that your experience on campus is as beneficial to your education as possible, but so is the experience of those around you.
Mr. Cedant has grown tremendously since accepting a position as a resident assistant with the Department of Housing and Residence Life at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in 2013. In this role, each semester he is tasked with the responsibility of living in a college housing community and providing advice, hosting educational programs, and facilitating campus awareness and growth for forty undergraduate students. Another responsibility that comes with
Housing is one of the most pressing issues facing communities today. It effects practically all demographics, especially students, minorities, and low-income workers. College towns are often face the toughest challenges, with many students experiencing an extremely high cost of living. Without a detailed housing plan drafted by community members there is no chance of improving the conditions of housing or their related expenditures. So, what should be done about housing in college towns? How can we hope to provide for a municipality’s citizens while keeping costs down? Can neighboring institutions and cities assist or should they give communities the autonomy to improve themselves? The answers, I hope, will be found within the rest of this essay.
Capital Punishment is the legal infliction of the death penalty on people convicted of a crime. Today, in modern law, the death penalty is corporal punishment in its most severe form. It is irrevocable: it ends the existence of those punished, instead of temporarily imprisoning them. Few states have both capital punishment and or life imprisonment. Capital punishment is the only corporal punishment applied to adults. The usual alternative to the death penalty is life imprisonment and only applied to the greatest criminals
College is a life changing experience for students. College is a new environment for most students and comes with lots of challenges. Things such as the increased difficulty of academic work and not being around the same social groups as a student was before college can make the transition very difficult. One of the best things a student can do to help with this transition is to live in a campus residence hall. Students should live in dorms because of the community that this creates. Students will gain many beneficial social interactions, will be able to better complete academic work, and will ease the adjustment to college life.
When asked to write a personal essay I pondered the many things that I could write about and nothing seemed quite right but one of the events that I truly believe changed my life. That is why I chose to write about basic and what I have learned from being in the army. Everyone has their own stories so no one will have a story that is similar to mine because everyone's life is different. That’s what makes mine stand out, I can guarantee that my reader will be able to experience something that they themselves have not even if they have been to basic themselves. My hook in the beginning is actually how I wanted my whole essay to be, but the more that I wrote the more my essay changed to a more inner thought sort of essay. This change hurt me later on though when I changed from past tense to present tense and back again without catching it. This was an easy fix however and some of my other minor errors were brought to my attention by Alex in my writing group when we switched documents with each other.
The United States was established on the basis of freedom. After finally gaining freedom from the tyrannical Great Britain American’s made sure they would never be stripped of their freedoms again by establishing our government and rights like freedom of speech, the press, and religion. Even with these rights in the past the United States was still full of inequality, with African Americans and women not having the same rights as white men. After fighting for their rights these minority groups have gained many rights that our founding fathers probably never would predict they would have. Regardless of these rights gained there is still inequality in our country, even in the 21st century. The Constitution is made up of several amendments that have been enacted over time to provide equality regarding race and gender. None of these amendments have ceased the problem of inequality between men and women in the workplace. In the United States the average woman earns seventy-seven cents to every dollar earned by a male for equivalent work. In this paper I am going to argue that if I were able to make a change to the Constitution I would add an amendment that guarantees equal pay for men and women in any working position.
