Apartment Choice

ABINGTON >> Students living at the Penn State Abington Lions Gate Residence Hall made their way into their new home Aug. 23 between those gathered for the noontime official ribbon -cutting of the new apartment building. The students had moved into the four-story, $50 million, environmentally conscious building for freshmen during the previous two weeks, in time for the Aug. 21 first day of classes at the commonwealth campus. Lions Gate, at 1001 Old York Road, represents “the first of its kind at Penn State to be adjacent to campus,” said Nicole Connell, associate director of strategic marketing. Within walking and biking distance to campus, stores and restaurants, the building, comprising two- and three- bedroom units on coed floors, can house 400, is convenient to public transportation and offers shuttles every 15 minutes to the Abington campus . The apartments, ranging from $3,930 to $4,470 per person per semester, can accommodate four to six students, each equipped with a k...

When visitors approach one of the two new affinity houses opening on the Bucknell University campus this semester, they'll cross an irregularly shaped section of pavement. Instead of proceeding straight from the front door to the road, the pathway forks at a 60-degree angle and meets the sidewalk to inscribe an equilateral triangle — or the Greek letter delta — in the concrete. It's a small detail that didn't cost extra to install, but will go a long way to making the building feel like home to its eventual occupants. The house at 125 Strohecker Farm Lane is planned to host the Delta Upsilon fraternity , which is recolonizing, and contains other architectural nods to the chapter's former house next to Bertrand Library. The two-story portico above the entryway replicates that found on the former DU house, as does the cherry wood trim on the building's first floor. Now known as Hildreth-Mirza Hall, the former DU house was acquired by the University in 2005 and ...

Related Coverage YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – Nearly 13,000 students are coming back to Youngstown State ’s campus for the start of fall classes and there’s been an increase in the number of new students. Family, classes, and convenience — just three of the reasons students say they come to YSU. Many things have changed at the university but excitement for the first day of classes has stayed the same. There are 2,300 new freshmen on campus this fall — an increase from last year and one of the largest freshman classes in three decades. Swegan said that’s because people are more aware and concerned about the cost of college and debt. “We’re sitting here in the State of Ohio with the most reasonably-priced tuition. I think people are seeing the value.” Student Jeffery Logan said he loves the party-like atmosphere. “Everything is awesome, man, it’s really cool.” His friend, Brittany Schnellbach, said she’s ready for class, too. “This is my last first day. There’s a lot of stuff going on her...

A Jacksonville police officer shot a man multiple times Sunday morning after, Sheriff’s Office officials said, he took the officer’s Taser during a struggle and pointed it at the officer. The shooting followed a foot chase that began when police responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic dispute, heard a woman screaming and discovered a woman being strangled by a man on top of her inside an apartment at the Cleveland Arms apartment complex about 8:45 a.m. Devanta DeJuan Jones , 22, was shot at least four times by Officer Cliff Sames of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The shooting happened after Sames and another officer tried unsuccessfully to stun the man, later identified as Jones, three times with their Tasers during the pursuit in which Jones kicked in the door, then ran through a neighboring apartment occupied by a mother and three children. Jones also tried but failed to force his way inside two other apartments during the foot chase, said Director Tom Hackney of the S...
