LOGAN, Utah— Utah State Housing Services’ annual Returning Residents Campaign is beginning today and will end on March 7.

During this time residents can sign back up to live in housing and will be rewarded with $100 in credit toward Housing, Dining, Bookstore or Parking.

As part of this years campaign Housing has announced a $500,000 makeover for some of the older apartments. Most of that money will be spent renovating apartments in South Campus.

Steve Jenson, Executive Director of Housing said, “We’ll be getting brand new couches and love seats in all the apartments, the old mattresses will be replaced, we’ll be painting living rooms and adding color, replacing carpet where it’s needed most, and adding extra electrical outlets in some areas.”

For students who think that on-campus housing is only for freshman, the west side of Merrill Hall will now be just for returning residents.

“We encourage you to continue to make the best of your college experience both socially and academically by choosing to return to campus. Don’t just go to school, live the entire college life – live on campus!” said Jenson.

Beginning March 4 South Campus, Central Campus, and the Student Living Center will have renovated apartments to model the changes that will be made.

For more information please contact Kate Reeves at 801-722-9569 or by e-mail at kate.reeves@aggiemail.usu.edu

I always thought living on campus was for freshmen but this should change that idea. Great job!

Very nice. It was amazing to read something about on campus housing and actually be interested. Good job using the numbers to tell the story.

Watch your capitalization. Be sure on AP Style.

Better to put a date than to say "today."

You need apostrophes on possesive Ss.
