A record enrollment of 11,615 students this school year is affecting living situations for on-campus residents. For the first time, students are being allowed to live off campus in Fox Meadows and Cambridge Apartments but "through the university system."

With record enrollment, the university is more willing to allow sophomores to live off campus. Fox Meadows Apartments and Cambridge Apartments are being rented out by the university for students to live in.

The next few years will mark drastic changes in on-campus housing as Fischer Hall is planned to go offline for renovations throughout the 2011-2012 academic year, Director of University Housing Frank Bartlett said.
