Texas State University held its annual off-campus housing fair on Tuesday and thousands of students came out to meet with apartment managers and pick up some free gear. Katelynn Duane has more in this Bobcat Update.


Finding the perfect place to live off-campus can be stressful for students, but if they were one of the Bobcats who came to the L-B-J ballroom on Tuesday, they had a good opportunity to find the information they needed. The annual housing fair offered students a chance to play some games and to look for a place to live.
SB: Smith... 10 seconds... "Live there"
Students could meet with representatives from apartment complexes or chat with specialized apartment locators.
SB: Kaikhah... 8 seconds... "100 leads"
Stand Up: Duane... 13 seconds... "Free things"
Students filled out information cards, and, in exchange, they received free shirts and bags. The shirts are not only stylish but they also mean free advertising for the local apartment complexes.
SB: Persio... 6 seconds... "And visit"
The annual housing fair provides an opportunity for students to ask questions and interact with potential landlords. The fair has become an annual ritual for many apartment vendors.
