Home, Suite Home: New dorm offers apartment-like living at WSU

The 11-story, 900-bed residence, is popular with students who like Reva Baldwin, from Oak Park , like the amenities. "You get your own room, more space. It's worth it," said Baldwin, a sophomore. "We'll always be a commuter campus," WSU President Irvin D. Reid said Monday. "But we want to be able to support people with different lifestyles and accommodate those who would like to have an experience on campus." The $51.5 million dorm is the third residence hall to be built in the last three years. A single costs $5, 670 per academic year. A private bedroom in a four-person suite is $5,040, and a shared bedroom in a suite is $4, 535. Or students can share a room for $4, 175 - the same price as the other residence halls.
