Dorm life with no RAs
■Students living off campus
near other students often face
parties and little study time
BY KIMBERLY SWEET
They have the lure of off
campus living—your own show
er, a full-size refrigerator and a
room you can call your own.
But many apartments or
houses in traditionally student
oriented neighborhoods also
contain the better aspect of
dorm life - other students.
Students who live in the
Clinton, Hartley, North
Bottoms, Malone and Near
South neighborhoods have the
advantage of being around
other students who will accom
pany them on a night out or join
them in tossing a football
around after a Husker victory.
Living within walking or bik
ing distance from campus is
another draw for students.
Ninety-five percent of the
residepts of Claremont Park
Apartments, located on North
9^ Street, are students, accord
ing to Housing Manager Sarah
Muller.
Located just five blocks from
campus, students can easily
walk to class and downtown,
Muller said.
Socializing and being in
close proximity to campus were
what drew Matt Rudloff, a senior
physical education major, to the
complex, located in the North
, Bottoms neighborhood.
“If people like to party, this is
the place to live," Rudloff said.
But many students who
extend the rowdy dorm life to
local neighborhoods will find
, neighbors who aren’t as keen on
2 a.m. parties or a friendly foot
ball game that extends into the
streets.
Those who live in neighbor
hoods heavily populated by stu
dents also have to deal with the
reality of more law enforcement,
said Capt. Joy Citta of the
Lincoln Police Department.
Many nonstudent residents
of student-populated neighbor
hoods know the police are just a
phone call away, she said.
“Neighborhoods are very
aware of what we can do," Citta

ASUN helps
house hunt
BY CASEY JOHNSON
Students looking for a place to
live off-campus will have a little
more guidance, thanks to a hous
ing guide provided by ASUN.
The guide offers information
about houses and apartments,
such as whether the property has
a pool or how long the average
lease time is.
The listing also covers areas
that many students look at, such
as whether there is an Internet
hook-up, available parking or a
dishwasher.
The guide is available in print
form from the Association of
Students of the University of
Nebraska office, 136 Nebraska
Union, as well as online at
www.officampushousingguide.co
m/schools/neb/neb.htmL
ASUN President Joel Schafer
said that an off-campus housing
guide was a service that ASUN
had been wanting to improve
upon for some time.
He said a representative from
Campus Directories Inc. came
into the student government
office and suggested die idea.
The company had worked on
off-campus housing guides for
Oklahoma State University,
Kansas State University and the
University of Missouri-Columbia.
Members from ASUN then
spoke with the student associa
tions of those schools and found
out that they were happy with the
service, Schafer said.
Before the housing guide was
published, Schafer said that stu
dent government would take
housing advertisements from
local newspapers and republish
them in newsletter or handout
form.
“We were spending a lot of
money mailing die newsletter out
to people who were transferring
here,” Schafer said.
Schafer said that because of
this, ASUN was looking for a way
to get the guide online for stu
dents who needed more immedi
ate and up-to-date information.
“It really fell in line for what we
wanted to do because we get the
service for the students, and we
can make some money off of it,
too,” Schafer said.
Ads located within the direc
tory pay for its printing, and a per
centage of the money left after
printing goes to ASUN.
The guide also provides useful
pages such as the Landlord
Tenant Law and the Nebraska
Residential Landlord Tenant Act
Schafer said.
