Back when these married student housing buildings were built, there were not nearly as many apartment building on campus as there are now. There really weren't that many places that a young married couple could afford to live either and these buildings were cheaper than apartments. The married couples often relocated due to the GI Bill or one of them was in grad school and the other was either not pursuing a degree or finishing up an undergrad degree. Over the years, more international students with families came to IU for the business school or graduate degrees in science, business, or law.

Married student housing requests began to dwindle as more and more apartments were built in town. One of the married student complexes shut down several years ago. I think BBHN is only one of two complexes left on campus.
