Wright State University is cutting the costs of on-campus housing by as much as one-third.
The reduction is to help support students living on campus post-pandemic, the university announced Monday afternoon.
“Students who live on campus connect with the institution faster, find support groups and use campus resources more often,” said Dan Bertsos, director of Residence Life and Housing. “As a result, they succeed at a higher rate and are more prone to graduate on time.”
Apartments at College Park and University Park will be reduced by 32.1% to $2,091 per semester. Forest Lane apartments will be cut by as much as 35.5% to $2,750.
For residence halls, some of the rooms at The Woods will be reduced by as much as 22% to $2,100; double rooms at Honor’s Hall will drop 25.1% to $2,300; and single rooms at Hamilton Hall will decrease 19.4% to $2,700.
The cost reduction for student housing was designed in partnership with Crawford Hoying, said Gregory Sample, Wright State’s executive vice president and chief operating officer.
