Students at the Wright State Lake Campus are able to live on campus in the apartments located West of the main building.
The Knapke Villa, East Villa and West Villa consist of townhouse-style apartments that have a view of Grand Lake St. Marys
What does housing on Lake Campus include?
There are two different layouts for the Lake Campus Housing Villas. Each apartment has a kitchen and two bathrooms. Each bedroom comes with a twin XL bed, a desk with a desk chair, and a two-drawer dresser. The double bedrooms contain twice the amount of what the singles have in them.
The four-bedroom plan can house six students. There are two bedrooms on each floor. The apartments have one single bedroom and one double bedroom on each floor.
The five-bedroom plan is able to house five students. Each student in this plan has their own room.
Four bedrooms are located upstairs while the fifth is on the lower floor along with the living room.
Apartments are fully furnished with a full kitchen that has a refrigerator, electric range, microwave, dishwasher, double bowl sink, and garbage disposal.
The living rooms have a couch, two armchairs, a television stand, and an end table.
The dining room comes with a table, four chairs, and three bar stools.
What are the villas?
Students are able to have one vehicle per resident at the Lake Campus Housing Villas.
The apartments can fit 96 students according to Tiffany Hamilton, community coordinator at the Lake Campus.
“During a typical year, they are 80 percent to 90 percent full. Most of our students sign up for housing for both fall and spring semesters. However, we do offer housing during summer semesters too,” said Hamilton.
The advantages of living on campus include a short two-minute walk to campus.
According to Hamilton, “this enables students to easily meet at school for study groups, attend office hours, schedule with advisors and go to tutoring sessions. Really, anything to support a student’s education is just a skip away.”
The apartment-style layout of the Lake Campus Housing provides the unique college experience that students would have at a larger campus without the 20-minute walk to classes.
Costs, options and what to know:
The cost of living on campus in the Lake Campus Housing Villas for double occupancy bedrooms is $5,030 for an academic year and single occupancy rooms cost $6,900.
Both costs include all utilities, cable and Wifi and are able to be paid by using financial aid, much like the system for the student’s WSU tuition bill.
