Housing i By Stanley A. Johnson Jr. f Gamecock Staff Writer ) The USC housing situation for on t and off- ;ampus students is in much ? better shape this fall, according to 1 Kicnara wertz, associate vice i president of Residential Life < Services. 1 "We're in much better shape as far as people knowing what they are doing and where they will be slaying, wertz said. - L,asi year we had a waiting list of 1,800 people, while this year we have between 400 and 500 people on it." Of the 22,000 students attending USC this fall, only 7,500 will be living on campus. "A few hundred won't show up for various reasons," Wertz said, "and we'll start going aown me usi assigning unclaimed rooms." "We'll Ix at full capacity this fall when these things balance out," he said. "We've already placed several hundred people off- campus." Wertz said that Residential Life Services and the Office of AHmiccinnc haH nAtifipH chiHpntc about their chances for getting oncampus housing earlier in the year. "Some students are living in temporary housing such as hotels, and others have short term leases, and when we get to their names on the waiting list, we'll let them know," Wertz said. The cost of off-campus housing has gone up more than on-campus housing because of the increasing population of Columbia, Wertz said. "In the past.it wasn't so bad because Columbia had so many apartments, it was practically overbuilt. * said. "But the growth +> EAT IN OR TAKE OUT 11. Ham & Cheese 2. Bologna & Chee 3.

Nertz said another reason for hese increases is because landlords ire out to make money, while Residential Life Services is not profit oriented. "We're just trying to help students get settled," he added. Several buildings on the Horseshoe will not be ready until after registration, Wertz said. "Elliot and Deassaure have been completed, but Woodrow , Wilson and Rutledge need cleaning, so we are asking students not to move in until the weekend of Aug. 27th," Wertz said. Harper will not be used this semester so it can be renovated. Within two years all the buildings n the Horseshoe4 will be completely renovated, he added. Mimi Parrot, dean of special services, handles services for commuter students. She keeps four fvrw?s nf lictincrc tn aiH ctnH*?nfc in finding off-campus housing: apartments and houses for rent, rooms for rent in private houses, students who have apartments and are looking for roommates and students who need both roommates and a place to live. "We also provide a list of mobile home lots for those interested in moving their trailers," Parrot said. "For families, we provide in formation on day-care tacilities and school districts," she said. "One of the first things we recommend is that people look into bus routes, bicycling or car pooling," Parrot said. "We always ask the listed renters how close to bus routes they are." m \^kj\ i \\J ORDER B WHOl 2.1 ?se 1.?

Residential Life Services is also tied to the USC Law school, so that students having conflicts with their landlords can discover their responsibilities.

Rachael Carr, director of family housing, said her department is in good shape this year. The university is getting more students with children and, "we also have more single parents with children," she added.
