Campus Housing

[Ooh La La]

The way VT does Greek Housing is pretty screwed up. First of all, we're required to live on campus to be recognized. For the new portion of the greek village going up, the organizations that are moving there are also required to pay for 1/3 of the construction costs. Finally, the actual housing is 10-month, since the dining plan comes attached to that. However, our parlor fees are 12-month, even though we don't even have access to the house.

If that was hazy at all, just let me know. I'm kinda half asleep right now so I'm not sure how coherent I am...

EDIT- It's just the girls that have to live on campus, not the boys. I don't like it. It seems like a big ole' double standard to me.

Oh ok. I thought you guys were paying FULL room and board for 12 months!

That still stinks to pay parlor fees year-round (when you aren't even using the facilities). Our parlor fees around campus weren't super cheap and I'm assuming yours aren't either.

I used to kind of wish my school would do a "Village" set up, but looking back, I think it's best that our own individual Housing Corps own our land and run our facilities.
