Universities with Family Housing

College Student At A Glance
When you envision the average college student you think of a person between the ages of 18-24, single and parent dependant.This student usually attends college immediately after high school and has virtually no responsibilities except to study hard.
But this image is changing. At any give time you can look see this to be true on any campus. More and more you are seeing older students ranging from college freshmen to graduate students. These older students bring a whole new list of demands and expectations from their education institute.
Consider this, you are a 28 year college freshmen. Would you want to live in a dormitory or would you prefer an apartment? Your a single mother or father attempting to return to school full time, where would you live? Your a young married couple, possibly college sweet hearts, where would you live? How would you finance this apartment as well as a full-time college education. If you as moving to a new are, how would you find housing?

Universities have taken notice to the change of college student demographics.They see that the typical college student is not the only type of college student. Graduate and Family housing is a direct response to the questions that many face when thinking of returning to college.

Thanx. I love the idea of family housing. Many universities actually offer family housing, child care and other assistance for students with families.
I really agree with you on the family housing. I was raised on campus housing, and loved the access to academics and the fun things that go on on-campus. I am having a heck of a time now that I'm a non-traditional student finding a College/Uni with Family Housing on the east coast for my family. Little do Colleges and Universities understand, that by having family housing available, they increasing the chances of return customers (the children who grow up on their campuses). It's a great way to be raised and a great way for the parent/student to continue regular life and get ahead. Just wish there was more of it available!!
Thanks for the article!
This would be wonderful for all ages of people wishing to advance their learning and careers.
Thanks for the comments. I will add the suggested info.
It would be great to actually have a list of colleges that offer college housing. I actually live in CA and looking for a U that offeres housing formyself and my little family of 3

There are a few colleges with programs specifically for single parents. I am applying to one in Massachusetts, but Pennsylvania, Ohio, and a few other East Coast locations have them!! It is great for young mothers/fathers to get that on campus experience even though they have a child!

I think it's a good idea for colleges to diversify and add choices for housing other than the traditional student. Good Hub.
