Please describe the on-campus housing if available (i.e., cost, type - studios, 1-br, 2-br, etc.)?
"studios, 1 bedroom, and 2 bedroom apartments are available within walking distance of campus and are considered on-campus for in-state residency purposes. Cost is 2-3x what you would be paying for a comparable apartment in the area. Major design flaws. Pipes have burst resulting in flooding the past three years in a row (and the buildings are 3 years old). All utilities frequently go out. Heat rarely stays on longer than 18 hours without needing a circuit breaker flip. Very miserable in the subzero winters in Rootstown."| Report Response
