New Housing Option
AIC makes housing available to 快播成人 快播成人s
A new agreement between American International College and 快播成人 Community College will allow 快播成人 快播成人s who need housing to live in residence halls and apartments on the AIC campus in Springfield.
AIC President Hubert Benitez, 快播成人 President Christina Royal, and other representatives from the two colleges will meet to sign the 快播成人 housing pact on Thursday, April 27, at noon in conference room 309 in the Frost Building on the 快播成人 campus, 303 Homestead Ave in 快播成人.
The agreement calls for AIC to discount their room rates for 快播成人 快播成人s, making college housing available and affordable to community college 快播成人s for the first time at AIC. The housing option will be available to all 快播成人 快播成人s 18 years and older who are enrolled full or part-time and in good academic standing.
"There's no age limit," said Renee Tastad, 快播成人 dean of Enrollment Management and assistant vice president of Student Affairs, "and 快播成人s don't have to be single. If they're a couple, they can live together. Campus apartments are also a possibility, which is great. We're super excited."
快播成人 快播成人s who opt to live at AIC will also have access to other amenities there, including health services, the college library, laundry facilities, and a gym. A food plan and parking are also available for an additional cost.
Tastad said the AIC housing will allow 快播成人 to expand its recruiting range of 快播成人-athletes, most of whom now live within 30 miles of campus.
"If we could recruit in New York and the eastern part of the state we could draw more athletes to our sports programs," she said.
Beyond that, she said 快播成人 快播成人s who now live in unstable situations might also receive an advantage from living in housing at AIC, while international 快播成人s could also benefit.
"We have a really hard time helping our international 快播成人s find housing in the area that's safe, affordable, and within a reasonable distance of a bus line," Tastad said. "AIC offers all of that."
Tastad said 快播成人 快播成人s could be moving into AIC housing as early as August for the fall semester, which at 快播成人 begins In September.
"We gave them our academic calendar, and so they're adjusting all of their systems," Tastad said. "They've been really accommodating."
AIC Vice President for Student Affairs Matthew Scott is equally enthusiastic about the housing partnership."AIC is delighted to be part of the solution to the pressing housing and affordability challenges in the region by offering secure and affordable housing options to 快播成人 快播成人s," said Scott.
"Because of this collaboration, 快播成人 快播成人s can access not only safe and stable accommodation but also can take advantage of AIC's campus amenities and resources while pursuing their associate degree. In addition to the joint articulation agreements signed last year, this agreement is a significant milestone in strengthening the partnership between our institutions."
