Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The quality of ISU’s campus housing varies. Some of the dorms are well-kept and maintained; other dorms have more problems. Turner Hall is definitely the dorm to live in to get to know a lot of different people. The men-only and women-only dorms are more intimate and not as crazy. The dorms are also more convenient for students with classes on upper campus, as there are not any dorms located on lower campus right now. But the dorms are located close to Reed Gym, so that is always good motivation. The Rendezvous Center provides 72 apartments with 301 beds. This is a huge, much-needed addition for ISU housing. There have been some complaints from the community and faculty about the facility costing a lot of money that is needed elsewhere, but students will definitely have more opportunities for luxurious housing. With most students living off campus, this may just be the thing to get students more involved with what is happening on campus. It will also bring students together, as they will be living in a more tight-knit community in the same building. This is a facility that will surely bring more students to ISU.

Housing

The housing here is okay. I believe it is a little expensive for what you get. It seems every year the price goes up but the quality stays the same. The social atmosphere is great, there are always new people to meet and everything is really close so you always get to see the new people you meet during the day, which means you can get to know alot of people really fast.

Cleaning Service

There is a custodial service that cleans the bathrooms, but everything else is up to the residents.

Did You Know? Gravely Hall, now home to the political science department, was once a girls' dormitory back in the day. Girls used to sunbathe out on the roof. There are rumors that the building is actually haunted, but those are probably just rumors, right?
