Good morning. First I' d like to welcome all of you to this workshop on student housing. I' ll go through the information about types of housing a-vailable for the fall and later hand out application forms. Then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
There are three main types of housing here for you to choose from: the dorms, the family student apartments, and the international houses. As of now, there is some space available in each type, but they are tilling up fast.
You should get your application in as soon as possible. Let me explain some of the main features for each type of housing.
We have hen' s dorms, women' s dorms, and coed dorms. Most of the rooms are doubles, with two beds, two closets, and two desks. We also have a few triples and a few single suites, but I think the suites are already taken. On each floor of the dorms there is a large bathroom and shower are-a. There aren' t cooking facilities in the dorms, but you can buy a meal tick-et for the cafeteria.
The family student apartments are grouped together near the north en-trance to the school. Each apartment has a kitchen, a living dining area, and either one or two bedrooms. There is a fenced play area for children.
The international houses are a group of apartments for any students. They are organized into language and culture themes, and some of them have rules about speaking only a certain language during mealtimes. It's been a good way for students to learn about other cultures as well as practice langua-ges. These houses are for all students, no matter how much of a particular language you speak. I think that Spanish House is full, but there are rooms available in all the other houses.
Well, that's the main information. I' II pass out these applications now and answer your individual questions.
