301 Swift will house graduate and professional students starting Fall 2019 ate and professional students. The sections of 301 Swift not used for housing will be converted into administrative buildings, he added. “With the opening of The Hollows we have enough beds for undergrads and need a few spaces for grad/prof students,” wrote Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, in an email to The Chronicle. The apartments at 301 Swift currently contain the undergraduate fraternity sections for Sigma Nu and Kappa Alpha Order. Gonzalez said that the buildings at 301 Swift “still had use in them,” as he described them as nicer than the facilities on the rest of Central Campus. by Matthew Griffin | The Chronicle Although Central Campus will no longer house undergraduates next year, graduate and professional students will have the option of living in 301 Swift Avenue apartments. Joe Gonzalez, assistant vice president of student affairs and dean for residential life, said that the apartments will house 20 to 25 gradu-
Gonzalez explained that most of the students living in 301 Swift will be new graduate students, especially those coming from outside of the United States. “[These students] historically have had a harder challenge in terms of finding housing, given their distance,” he said. The change from undergraduate to graduate housing will return the buildings to their original
use. Central Campus was constructed in the 1970s to house graduate and professional students and transitioned in the following decades to house undergraduates instead. Next year, as graduate students move back into 301 Swift, most undergraduates will be housed on West Campus—with the exception of those upperclassmen living off campus or in 300 Swift, or first-years living on East Campus. As for 301 Swift’s former occupants, Kappa Alpha Order’s section will be located in Craven on West Campus, whereas Sigma Nu’s section will move across the street to 300 Swift. The Board of Trustees has created The Future of Central Campus Task Force that is charged with proposing a plan for the future uses of the land, which may include building, selling or being left vacant. In the meantime, the new arrangements at 301 Swift are here to stay. “We do expect to use this for graduate and professional housing for a good while,” Gonzalez said.

• Stick to your budget. Determine how much you can realistically afford to spend and don’t deviate from it.
• Get an estimate from the complex before you visit. Find out if an apartment is affordable before you visit so you don’t get swept up in a home’s appealing features just to find it is out of your price range.
• Choose your location wisely. Make sure to get a sense of the different neighborhoods before you start looking at apartments. Does being near downtown matter to you? How about being within walking distance to campus? If you don’t have a car, perhaps you’d like to be on a bus route?
• Count your deposits. Keep track of the different deposits you

• Meet the neighbors. Get to know the people you’ll be living near, so you have someone to keep an eye on things when you’re away or to help you if you get locked out. Also, ask how they feel about noise at night and on the weekends. You should always be respectful, but some neighbors are more sensitive than others.
• Don’t forget about parking. Make sure you won’t be forced to park three blocks away. If you don’t have a car, live closer to campus. Maybe look for a roommate who has a car so you can steal a ride to and from campus if it’s pouring rain or late at night.

• Check the little things before you move in. Find out where you can do laundry, make sure there are plenty of outlets, and find out about cell service and internet connection. It’s easy to fall in love with an apartment’s look or low price, but you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.
• Keep track. Create a shared Google Doc to track roommate expenses so everyone has access to the information and there are no surprises.
• Consider the amenities. We have so many nice off-campus housing options – is a pool important to you? What about a gym or quiet study areas?
• Ask about pets. If you have a dog or cat, or are thinking of purchasing one once you are settled, make sure to find out if the apartment complex you’re looking at allows them.

5 tips to help you find the best renters insurance Renters insurance may seem expensive if you’re among the more than two-thirds of tenants who lack it. But it’s the best way to avoid losing thousands of dollars if you’re robbed or your apartment is damaged.
N
ew York apartment dweller Rose LichterMarck, 28, had to pay cash to replace all her furniture, housewares and books after a fire in her old building. Cleaning the smell of smoke out of her clothes cost another $2,000, because she didn’t have insurance, she said. Then she had to stay with friends until she found a new apartment. With insurance, the whole experience would have been less painful — and less expensive. A basic policy can be as little as 50 cents a day. But many renters, mostly young adults, think — incorrectly — that their stuff isn’t worth enough to insure, according to Apartments. com, which found in 2010 that 70 percent of tenants don’t buy renters insurance.
Here are five steps to take if you’re considering renters insurance: • Inventory your possessions: Photograph everything you own to get a sense of how much it would cost to replace all your things. While you’re at it, write down the serial numbers of all your electronic devices and appliances. • Seek out discounts: Take note of any special safety precautions in your building that will earn you a break on your monthly premium. If you buy coverage from the same company that insures your car or provides
you other types of coverage, that can earn you a multi-policy discount. • Think about partying: If you like to entertain, renters insurance can be especially helpful. Most policies will offer your guests medical coverage, so if someone visiting your place slips and smacks his head on your kitchen counter, his trip to the emergency room will be covered. • Choose replacement vs. actual value: Most insurers will cover either your belongings’ actual cash value or what it would cost to replace them. A cash value policy will be cheaper, but the payout for things you have to replace will be reduced by how much they’ve depreciated since you bought them. Replacement-cost coverage will cover the cost of replacing your belongings new, now. • Understand your policy’s limits: Basic renters insurance policies cap reimbursements. So be sure to buy the extra coverage you need for pricey items like jewelry, electronics and musical instruments. Some people even carry riders against identity theft. But extra coverage adds up quickly so be clear about your priorities.

Moving off campus? Tips for choosing a roommate W
hile most people have experience with roommates before deciding to move off-campus, apartment living can present unique challenges to the roommate relationship. While questions of dirty dishes and space allocation may persist, off-campus roommates must also navigate issues of rent, utilities and leases. Whether you’re living with your best friend or virtual strangers, consider some of these points with your potential roommates before committing to an off-campus relationship: Determine a fair way to divide rent. While many roommates choose to divide rent evenly, complications can arise when rooms are not equal in size or amenities. Some roommates are willing to pay more for a room with a better view or more windows, but be sure to discuss these issues before the rent is split. Consider having an objective discussion about the pro’s and con’s of each room before selecting rooms. Setting the rent for each room beforehand will allow tenants to consider their own budgets when deciding which room to select. Discuss who will pay for utilities. Paying for utilities is one of the big differences between living on and off-campus. In addition to rent, most tenants will also need to cover bills for water, electric or gas, cable and internet. While some apartment
ing one roommate as the primary leaseholder with all other tenants considered subleesees. In this situation, the leaseholder has sole responsibility for upholding the lease agreement and can generally evict subleesees who do not abide by the terms of the lease. Other landlords will require all roommates to sign on as co-tenants, sharing equal responsibility for the lease. If one co-tenant does not pay rent or breaks a rule, the landlord has the right to evict all roommates. If offered a choice, carefully consider which options best fits you and your roommates. complexes include certain utilities in the cost of rent, many expect these costs to be covered independently. Not paying utilities on time can negatively affect your credit score if the utilities company reports delinquent payments and a negative entry from not paying your utilities could impact your payment history calculation, which accounts for 35 percent of your total credit score. Be sure to coordinate with your roommate about how utility costs will be divided and how you will ensure that payments are submitted on time. Carefully consider who you add to your lease. Landlords operate leasing arrangements in different ways. Some may offer the option of choos-
Keep the lines of communication open. Use the conflict resolution skills you learned freshman year! Conflicts between tenants are often inevitable, but the more thought that goes into planning and negotiating prior to moving in, the more comfortable all roommates will be. When problems do arise, address them calmly and directly. Consider your phrasing–rather than addressing the issue in an accusatory manner (“You always turn your rent in late and you keep making excuses”) try talking about how you feel (“I’m afraid we may lose our apartment if we don’t get our rent in on time”). Since you can be evicted based on a single roommate’s actions, get the landlord involved only as a last resort.

The apartments at Solis are a fantastic new addition to the already vibrant 9th Street community. The community at 810 Ninth itself is also growing as more and more people arrive. creating a fantastic mix of people and cultures. The Leasing Office has been an absolute pleasure to deal with, and every person will go out of their way to help with anything you need. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my decision to take a chance with a new development in Solis. and would happily recommend it to anyone who asked.
