Housing at UIS
Donald Larrieu
Students at the University of Illinois Springfield are fed up with the housing department. Juniors, seniors and some sophomores are able to move into the town houses or apartments after living in the dorms, but the pros do not always outweigh the cons. UIS senior, Elijah Pounds, explains why moving out to the townhouses is not all it is cracked up to be.
"I mean, I just think it's kind of crazy how we spend all this money paying to housing and we cant even get things fixed in a timely manner. We have my oven that's broken right now. We can't even use it to make a pizza"
Students pay $3,275 dollars per semester, around $700 dollars a month, to live with blown lights, worn out furniture and broken appliances. With housing rates scheduled to increase next year, students are eager to see improvements in their quality of living.
