In an effort to support students living on campus<\/a> post-pandemic, Wright State University is reducing the price of residential housing on the Dayton Campus by as much as one-third beginning Fall Semester.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis cost reduction was developed in partnership with Crawford Hoying,\u201d said Gregory Sample, Wright State\u2019s executive vice president and chief operating officer. \u201cWe believe this will serve as a strong incentive for students who desire to live on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents who live on campus connect with the institution faster, find support groups and use campus resources more often,\u201d added Dan Bertsos, director of Residence Life and Housing. “As a result, they succeed at a higher rate and are more prone to graduate on time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apartments at College Park and University Park will be reduced by 32.1% to $2,091 per semester. Forest Lane apartments will be cut by as much as 35.5% to $2,750.<\/p>\n

For residence halls, some of the rooms at The Woods will be reduced by as much as 22% to $2,100, double rooms at Honor\u2019s Hall will drop 25.1% to $2,300, and single rooms at Hamilton Hall will decrease 19.4% to $2,700. Price reductions only apply to residential housing on the Dayton Campus.<\/p>\n

Students can still apply to live on campus this fall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Students with residential and commuter meal plans<\/a> will also see a few changes in the fall, with both plans giving students more purchasing power for their money.<\/p>\n

The value of their meal plan will be increased from $7 to $7.75 per swipe, enabling them to purchase a higher valued meal with one swipe and \u2014 depending on the price of the meal \u2014 may reduce the need to use Dining Dollars to cover the balance.<\/p>\n

One of the other changes is the introduction of a new residential meal plan called the Rowdy 100, which is designed for those who choose to buy only a meal a day. Students who choose this plan will have 100 swipes, $200 in Dining Dollars and $10 in Raider cash.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese changes will give students more variability in pricing,\u201d said Debra Radford, director of auxiliary services. \u201cThe residential meal plan options range in price from $947 to $2,147 per semester. For commuters, meal plans will range from $150 for 20 swipes up to $700 for 100 swipes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other changes are in store<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

Starting this fall, free laundry facilities will be offered in each residential community.<\/p>\n

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, rooms at Hamilton Hall \u2014 which are designed to be doubles \u2014 went to single occupancy. That change will become permanent.<\/p>\n

Campus activities will also come back to life, with the return of social gatherings and in-person events and activities.<\/p>\n

Students will also notice that the rims on the goals of the basketball courts are going back up. They were taken down to prevent gatherings that could spread the coronavirus, but vaccinations have now given people more protection.<\/p>\n

Crawford Hoying has plans to modernize residential housing on Wright State’s Dayton Campus<\/a>. The Dublin, Ohio, company has acquired the majority of Wright State residential housing along Zink Road and is in the process of crafting an operating agreement with Wright State to manage the properties beginning in the fall of 2021.<\/p>\n

Mike Landrum, executive vice present of property management for Crawford Hoying, said the company\u2019s roots are in student housing and it has always enjoyed its interactions with student populations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited about Wright State\u2019s long-term vision, and we feel there\u2019s an opportunity to make small changes in the student housing that will make large impacts in the students\u2019 lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
