The Asteri Ithaca will increase affordable housing in Ithaca with a convenient location and 40 designated units for at-risk populations.
Just seven weeks into the semester, Cornell students who plan to live off-campus are already racing to find roommates and leases for the 2022-2023 school year.
Students living in the newly constructed North Campus dorms report infrastructure problems and a lack of community.
Unlike those living in traditional dorms, students in University-owned co-op houses must independently decide on COVID-19 safety measures without clear guidance from Cornell.
For Cornell specifically, the North Campus expansion project could be a really good opportunity to mitigate some of the damage; though instead of increasing enrollment with the facilities, the University should focus on attracting and housing current students. The requirement to live on campus through sophomore year should help ease the pressure of students in Collegetown, but is it enough?
From brand-new North Campus dorms to century-old West Campus Gothics, students on campus face a huge range of living options – and all at the exact same price.
Straddling the corner of College Avenue and Oak Avenue, the Student Agencies Building is home to more than 50 apartments and a future location of Ithaca Beer Co.
The Ithaca Tenants Union is joining the Solidarity Slate on the Right to Renew campaign, which urges the Ithaca Common Council to require that landlords have justified reasons for not renewing a tenant’s lease.
The General Room Selection process has opened, meaning once again, students are racing to find the best possible housing option in their allocated time slot.
Like all other aspects of campus life, the pandemic has strikingly changed the experiences of living in large shared spaces like Greek and program houses.
