Most Commonly Asked Questions for Stadium Way and College Way Apartments

1. Are utilities included? We pay for high speed Internet, cable TV, water, sewer, and garbage collection. The Students pay for gas, electric, and for telephone should they connect to local service and not just use their own cell phone. Generally each student, in an apartment of six students, pays $18.00 to $23.00 per month for utilities.

2. Can I pay monthly? What if I have a scholarship? In most cases rent for Fall semester is due at the beginning of Fall semester and on the 10th of December for Spring Semester. Students can pay “monthly” if their parents are employed and sign a guaranty agreement for the rent. Those that pay “monthly” are required to pay 1/3^rd at move in or the first day of the Fall semester, which ever comes first, 1/3^rd one month from the start of the semester, and 1/3^rd two months from the beginning of the semester. For Spring semester, 1/3 is due December 10th, 1/3 on January 10th, and the balance on February 10th. There is a $25 per semester charge for those paying monthly. For those with scholarships we realize most scholarships are not funded until about a month into the semester. In such cases you must show evidence of the scholarship and then pay 1/3^rd of the semester rent upon move-in. Students on scholarships must have an employed parent sign a gauranty. If your scholarship is not here within 30 days from the start of school, or if we cannot confirm with the school that it will be here soon, then we treat you like a student paying “monthly” (see above) until the scholarship funds arrive to pay your rent.

3. Does my deposit go towards my rent? No. The deposit is used as security for any damages caused or cleaning that is not taken care of at the end of the lease. A non-refundable sum of $45.00 is deducted for carpet cleaning, window cleaning, and touch up painting which is done each year after the students leave. The rest of the deposit, less damages and cleaning fees, if any, will be mailed back to you.

4. Do I have to sign a 2 semester contract? Generally yes, unless you come only for Spring Semester which starts in January. If you come for Spring Semester only you may sign a one semester contract. If you want to sign a one semester contract for Fall semester then the rent is $200 extra and you must pay it up front -- no monthly payments.

5. Can we use nails, tacks or sticky tape on the walls? You may use small nails and tacks but no sticky tape. We patch the holes and touch up paint each year. If you use large nails, use sticky tape, or go crazy with nail holes we will make the repairs and deduct it from your deposit. Sticky tape should never be used.

6. Is there assigned parking? Is there plenty of parking and do I have to buy a parking ticket? There is not assigned parking. You do not have to buy a parking ticket and there is plenty of parking. You will be issued a parking sticker. Unauthorized vehicles without a sticker will be towed or booted after curfew.

7. How big are the apartments? How many bathrooms and bedrooms are there? Stadium Way and College Way have two different types of apartments. Each type of apartment accommodates 6 students. The first type is a standard three bedroom apartment. These are shared bedroom apartments; however, you can rent a shared bedroom all to yourself. Each of these bedrooms has a walk-in closet and its own private bathroom. Each of these bedrooms is about 16.5 feet by 15 feet which includes the closet and bathroom. If you don’t count the closet and bathroom (including the open sink area) the room is about 15 feet by 11 feet. There are 36 of these apartments at Stadium Way and 26 at College Way. These apartments are about 1225 square feet. The second type of apartment is only found at Stadium Way—these apartments have one shared bedroom room (with a walk in closet and private bathroom), and 4 private or single person bedrooms. These four single bedrooms share two bathrooms which are set up in such a way that all four students can be using a bathroom facility at the same time (using a sink, bath/shower, or toilet area). Each private bedroom has its own closet. These bedrooms vary slightly in size but average about 8 feet by 13 feet which includes the closets. There are 13 of these apartments (52 total private bedrooms) that are about 1225 square feet. Each apartment has central air conditioning and a washer and dryer. You can view the apartments and the floor plans on this internet site. The private single bedrooms are the first to fill up each year.

8. What do I need to bring? What furniture and appliances do the apartments have? What size are the beds? All apartments are fully furnished. The front rooms have a couch and love seat (or chairs). The kitchens have nice oak cabinets, and all standard appliances including a dishwasher, microwave oven, stove with range top, refrigerator, and washer and dryer. The bed rooms have standard twin size beds, with a computer desk, dresser, nightstand (in 3 bedroom units), and are wired for phone, cable TV, and high speed internet. You will need to bring kitchen dishes, pots and pans, utensils, etc. You will also need to bring your own sheets, blankets, pillows and personal items. You do not need to bring a shower curtain as all of our tub/showers and showers have doors. There is no telephone or TV. Most students bring a television and use cell phones. You can contract with the local phone company for a phone—each bedroom and kitchen is wired for a phone.

12. Are pets allowed? No, not even fish.

13. Can I bring my own bed and dresser? We don’t suggest it, but will allow it. If you choose to do so we will charge you $15.00 per semester because we have to move our furniture and rent storage space to store our furniture.

14. Can I use the hot tub and tanning beds? Yes. The hot tub is free but there is a charge for the tanning beds for Stadium Way but not College Way students. The charge is less than half of what a tanning salon would charge.

16. How many students to an apartment? Each apartment can accommodate six students. Some apartments may have less if a person rents a shared room for him/herself. Last year approximately 15 apartments at each site had students in them that rented a shared room all to themselves so these apartments only had three students in them.

17. What do you do to make the apartments a safe place to live? Is there a curfew? We have tried to make our apartments a safe place to live. We have full time managers that live on-site and handle problems day and night. We enforce our rules. Guests must be out of the apartment by 12:00 midnight, except on Friday and Saturday nights when they must leave by 1:30 a.m. If they are not their cars will be booted or towed. If you plan on smoking, drinking, or using drugs don’t apply to live here. Our full time manager will not hesitate to evict you for rule violations or have you arrested if you are breaking the law. We have parking lot lights, night lights in the park, cameras in the clubhouse that record 24/7 (the monitor is in the manager’s apartment), hand rails on the stairs and porches, night lights on the sand volleyball court, and lights over the basket ball standards.

18. What is the surrounding area like? What is there to do? St. George is an hour away, several national parks or monuments are close by including Zion’s National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, Cedar Breaks National Monument, and Lake Powell (several hours away). There is good hunting and fishing in the area, Cedar City has a nice golf course, Brianhead Ski Resort is under a 25 miles from the apartments. Southern Utah has a lot to offer. Cedar City is loaded with restaurants, entertainment, and shopping. Within the last few years a Walmart and Home Depot have been built with in several miles of our apartments.

19. Are the apartments within walking distance to campus? Yes. Stadium Way is less than one block from the football field which is the West end of campus. College Way is about a block further from campus than Stadium Way. You will not need to drive to school unless you choose to do so.

20. When will the roommate assignments be made? Can you reserve a specific room for me? We generally don’t reserve specific rooms—although we may on occasion. Rooms are on a first come first serve basis. Roommate assignments are completed the first week of August. You will be sent notice by e-mail at that time.

21. What is the move-in date? Can I move in early? You can move in two days before the first day of school without an additional charge. You can generally move in anytime before that for a prorated daily rental rate. For example if you come 21 days before the start of school for a sports program or some other reason you will be charged 19 days rent at a prorated basis. As an example, if your rent is $950.00 for the semester (about 4 months) then the prorated rate would be $7.66 per day.

It is open from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. It is monitored with closed circuit cameras which are monitored from the manager’s apartment.
