Taeler Kallmerten

Sleeping in hotel rooms and commuting to campus may not be the ideal college experience, but it's the reality some students are facing. Bobcat Update's Taeler Kallmerten has more.
 
Allison Fluker has been spending her final semester staying in the Comfort Suites hotel. Fluker is one of the many students displaced after Pointe San Marcos, an upscale student housing complex, failed to finish construction in time for the fall semester.

The Pointe San Marcos offered its residents compensation options, such as Rent-credit, gift cards and hotel accommodations. Tanner Murphy chose the rent-credit option and was initially angry about the inconvenience, but now he says management has done its best to work with him.

While some students are making the most of the situation, others are taking action. Michael McDaniel says residents have contacted the Pointe's leasing office, American Campus, and its corporate headquarters as well. The residents are using a Group-me app to coordinate their efforts. McDaniel says anyone who wants to be more informed is welcome to join the Group-me.

SU: As Fall is quickly approaching a lot of us are worrying about what we're going to do decorate our apartments. For the student that are displaced they have a lot more to worry about than that.  They have to worry about when they can have a place to call home. For Bobcat Update, I'm Taeler Kallmerten.
