"I'M MOVING off campus next semester because I can't afford to live on campus anymore," Folts said. "I think we're paying enough as it is. I can't understand why they're increasing it by that much," Eric Evans, a geology freshman, said. Anthropology freshman Ashley Chapman said, "I really don't know about the situation with the university, so I can't really say if it's fair. I do know it's going to hurt a lot of people. "I think they should get more interaction with the students and the administration about the increase to explain why there are these increases," he added.

"The school's frivolity with other money has caused the student to suffer. They should look elsewhere for funds," said Lisa Hoerz, a journalism junior. ROD ROBINSON, a music junior, agreed.

Many students said they expect to see some improvement in housing if they must pay this additional cost. "It seems that the increased cost of housing should come along with in creasea maintenance and service in proportion to the increase," economics junior Jim LaFemina said.
