Nowadays, housing problems are one of the worst problems, not only for Seattle Central students, but for all college students in the United States. According to homeguides.sfgate.com, students suffer in getting houses or apartments in terms of cost and space. Apartments near and around our school are particularly more expensive than other schools. Students in downtown Seattle are also facing more severe problems now that housing costs are rising. Housing costs are cheaper if the apartments are a little further from downtown Seattle. However, going beyond that means that students would have to abandon accessibility and convenience, which are important to students. Dorms might be one of the best alternatives, but they have very limited capacity and are as expensive as the apartments near our school. Housing problems should be resolved as soon as possible. To do this, universities must consider how to solve the costs and small problems of dormitories. There are specific examples regarding the cost aspects of overpriced apartments located near Seattle Central. If we walk 20 minutes on Madison Street, there is an apartment called Summit at Madison Park. For a one bedroom apartment the cost is approximately $1450.00 per month. Near our school, however, a one bedroom apartment costs around $1700.00 per month. This example shows that there is a significant difference in terms of costs. However, most universities and colleges in the United States have similar problems in solving the problems of expensive housing costs near each school, but schools need to start providing clear solutions. To help solve this problem, our school should create a contract with nearby apartments, so that students can get discounts with those apartment complexes. For example, a......half of a sheet of paper......ents. I feel that many students might have the same experience as me, so I interviewed my friend. According to my friend, if the dorm has bigger rooms and cheaper prices, most students say they prefer the dorm to other apartments. In conclusion, the school should solve the students' housing problems regarding costs and small dormitories. To do that, the school would have to contract with apartments near downtown Seattle or expand the small dormitory. Furthermore, the school should defend the students' positions. The school should recognize the need to improve these problems. If these problems are resolved, students can devote their full effort to studying and the school can retain competent students.
