With enrollment at the university booming, the lack of housing on campus is a big issue. The Board of Regents at Texas State recently approved plans to build a new dorm that could house more than 600 students. Freshman Willem Gonzalez, who lives in one of the dorms, says he likes living close to campus, but wishes he had a little more space.

Residence Life Director Dr. Rosanne Proite says she believes the new dorm, which will be built near the intersection of Sessom Drive and Comanche Street, will help eliminate over-crowding and improve students’ quality of life.

While requirements for moving off campus have been relaxed to help reduce crowding, Proite says she still believes it’s important for students to begin their college careers close to campus.

STAND UP: Construction on the dorm, which could cost upwards of 50 million dollars, could begin as early as next fall and the university is hoping it will be ready to house students in 2012. For Bobcat Update, I’m Megan Turney.
