Dorm Room Decline

Competition from new student housing complexes could be the cost that stay empty.

Roam Student Living’s leasing manager said numbers increased Roam by about 20 percent this year. She also said these complexes offer things the dorms don’t.

UM Student Peyton Croaker agreed.

“I loved the amenities that Roam had in comparison to the dorms, having a washer and drying and having a bathroom in my unit was huge for me with like privacy and personal things,” Croaker said.

Dorm rates at UM cost from two to three thousand dollars per semester. This compared closely with Roam’s Monthly rates that start at about five hundred and fifty dollars for a four bedroom per person.
