CSC lowers Eagle Ridge costs

Students can now contract for a room in Eagle Ridge at the same price as a single dormitory room, with the exception of Edna Work Hall.

“I just talked to Dale Grant and we tried to bring the price in line with the other rooms on campus,” Sherri Simons, housing and resident life director, said.

The price change was also influenced to help attract more students to Eagle Ridge, according to Simons.

The price for a single dorm room, with the exception of Edna Work Hall, is $2,162 a semester. That rate is for the 2014-2015 academic school year, however the prices for next year have not yet been set, according to Simons.

Currently 38 rooms are filled in the Eagle Ridge Complex, of the 69 total rooms. Each building has 23 rooms, and each building has a room reserved for the resident adviser.

“Just got off to a rough start cause it wasn’t completed yet,” Simons said.

The complex was still adding the finishing touches when students began moving back in August 2014 for the school year.

“Anyone who wants to go look, we can arrange for them to see,” Simons said.

As of Tuesday, seven more students have contracted for a room in Eagle Ridge.

“Next fall should be much better,” Simons said.
