Many students may, or may not, have noticed the recent construction on the West Apartments in the Southeast Neighborhood on IU’s Campus. The demolition of these apartments has not been a big deal around campus among students. I lived in the Read Residence Hall during my freshman year here at IU and noticed that a majority of the residents in the West Apartments consisted of international students or graduate students. The demolition of the these apartments poses many issues.
With the university’s current shortage of housing for student living on-campus, what will be implemented to replace the West Apartments to either supplement for the housing that once was? Will the university add more housing which will replace the space that was demolished and also alleviate some of the shortage of on-campus housing for students?
Is this fair to students that could have potentially lived on-campus in these apartments by making them live off campus or finding alternative living arrangements? What would you like to see be put in the place of where the West Apartments are located?
