Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • Catamount Peak means living in their community, which includes a club house, a 24-hour fitness center, swimming pool, resident activities, 24- hour emergency maintenance, as well as loner accessories such as vacuums and tools. Apartments are fully furnished and, as the website makes obvious, include all utilities in their prices. Other features available in each apartment include a_ dishwasher, self-cleaning oven, refrigerator, microwave, central air and heat and on-site mail delivery; washers and dryers are located in a separate laundry room. The Peak offers students a variety of options with many living arrangements and _ floor plans to choose from. These floor plans include options for single-living or living with one or multiple roommates. More information on Catamount Peaks, such as pricing and descriptions in further detail, can be accessed by visiting their website: http://www.catamountpeak. com/index.htm. However, students such as Jessica Rigsbee prefer living further out from campus because housing is more affordable and more desirable than living at the Peak or other apartment complexes neighboring WCU. Rigsbee moved off-campus in her junior year at Western because she was fed up with dorm life. Theres no annoying and loud neighbors banging on the walls and screaming in the halls, says Rigsbee. You have your own kitchen, personal laundry room, you can /egally have pets, you have your own bedroom and you have a bathroom that you dont have to share with 30 other people. Rigsbee rents a townhouse in Sylva, only a ten- minute drive from campus, with her boyfriend and roommate and claims that this living arrangement is much cheaper than living at areas such as the Peak. For Rigsbee, the primary reason that living off-campus balances out the expenses for living on campus is that there is no meal plan. You're not forced to buy a meal plan that doesnt last the whole semester. You lose money with the meal plan. Items at the C3 stores and other eating establishments that use meal plan points are doubled in price, claims Rigsbee. According to Rigsbee and her boyfriend, rent money, including utilities and _ internet, is nO more expensive than the money paid to live in the dorm and the costs students spend on food items balances out with what most pay for their meal plan, the only _ difference according to Rigsbee is, You can buy what you want. In addition to how much things cost, many _ students want pets and are not allowed to have them in the dorm buildings. Sometimes, finding a living arrangement off-campus that allows pets is also a challenge. Jessica Rigsbee lucked out in her search for a place that would allow her pet ferret to stay. Its ridiculous that certain animals are not ; pire LSPA te Aedeety cous tes CYST SY allowed in the dorms, she claims, you can have a fish as long as its in a tank no larger than 10 gallons, but you cant have anything else. You cant even have a turtle or a hermit crab. For Rigsbee, finding a place that would allow ferrets was yet another reason to move off-campus. According to Rigsbee, as well as many other students with similar problems concerning living arrangements, the best way to find a place is to look in the newspaper and call everyone. The Sylva Herald offers numerous listings on areas that are for rent around the area along with their telephone numbers. Apparently the trick is not to be deterred by what the ad says. Instead, students should keep an open mind, look at all properties listed and speak directly with the realtor to discuss payment options and living accommodations.
