Touring the Student Neighborhood at the University of Dayton with Kendra
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
One of my favorite things that you d. Is our student neighborhood. This is something super unique to campus that I've never seen in any other college campus, but you d owns around 400 houses in our student neighborhood. There's like a big clump by the rec center, there's a big clump by fitz hall. Um They're spread all throughout campus, which I think is really cool. So these houses are an opportunity for our juniors and seniors or upper class in the here on campus. Some students aren't required to live on campus after their second year, but so many people do because of the student neighborhood, so you're not paying like separate electrical bills or maintenance bills or water bills or anything like that. You're just paying through uni tuition which is super cool. They more lawns in the summer, they shovel or snow in the winter, they fixed anything that's broken but its overall just such a cool. The experience houses range from 2 to 12 people, but the average is around 4 to 6. You got to pick like the location of where we wanted our house to be too. So we decided to pick a house on the south student neighborhood side of campus, we have like a big section called the door, student neighborhood and then a big section called the south student neighborhood. So people get to pick where they want to live on campus to um where my house is, is super close to the education building. So I absolutely love that my house is over here because I have a super short walks most of my classes. So this is the student neighborhood and this is what I get to go home this year and this is my house right behind us here. I live on one end of campus, but these houses are spread all throughout campus and you kind of get to pick and choose where you want your house be, which is super, super cool on the student neighborhood. It's something so unique to campus that I absolutely love. We get to sit on the porch every day with our friends and we're right on campus. So we have a super short walk to all of our classes and absolutely love it here. So for how we pick our houses, we go through a process called pass points. So path just stands for points accumulated towards housing. It's as easy as that, you get points that are accumulated and make a big total and those go towards your housing. So we go to like different events all throughout the school year. So I just went to like a ted talk a few weeks ago and I went to one of sustainability, all kinds of different things always happening that you can get these points. So the people with like more points, I want to get, like first saying to help skin, things like that. If you don't care where you live and you just want a roof over your head, you can get no points and just be thrown into the lottery system and just be given a house somewhere on campus. You can totally make what you want of it, which I think is super cool.
