does this occur on your campus?
as space and land get dearer and dearer and as some of the
campuses have been playing musical chairs the past decade,
some universities have been quick to snap up the houses, e.g.,
Colorado, leaving darned little to come back to or anyplace to
build. Many now in veritable but expensive shacks...
Kansas and Kansas State have really done us a favor in that when one builds, a once-smaller house buys the vacated one.
Good example...Chi O built new, LXA moved up into their still
gorgeous digs...DX and others did the same. At KU some of the
real nice houses have been "move ups" and everybody wins.
Housing is a real dilemma at some places; they are not making
any more land and construction costs skyrocketing. Houses we
used to build for $400 K are now 4 million...
But, perhaps, though, undergrads do not want to live in the
house...what was once for 85 men now cut down to 45 as the
boys move in TVs, toys, reject sleeping dorms, etc. Change,
we have seen a lot. If we work together, we will endure.
Do you remember when IFCs were new and worked together
to be able to buy mattresses at bulk rate?...changes...LOL
