WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OFFERS RESIDENCE HALL DISCOUNTS FOR 2009-10 ACADEMIC YEAR
—Rate discounted nearly 10 percent for Overlook North and South, which primarily house freshmen
As part of a continuing effort to help keep the cost of higher education more affordable for students, William Paterson University in Wayne is offering discounted rates on a number of residence halls for the 2009-10 academic year.
“We understand that students and their parents may be struggling to afford the cost of higher education during the current economy, and may be particularly concerned about their ability to live on campus,” says John Martone, vice president for student development. “We offer a vibrant residential experience for students and by offering reduced rates on residence halls, we hope it will provide more students with the opportunity to live on campus.”
The per semester rate for the Overlook North and South residence halls, which house primarily freshmen, will be reduced from $3,320, to $3,000, a reduction of 9.6 percent. In addition, rates for Century, Hillside, White and Matelson residence halls will remain at $3,300 per semester. The cost of the university’s newest residence halls, High Mountain East and West, which opened in 2006, will be $3,400 per semester for 2009-10. The charge per semester for the Pioneer and Heritage apartments will be $3,800 per semester. Overall, the average cost of housing will decrease 2.7 percent for the 2009-10 academic year.
William Paterson guarantees housing for students during their entire time on campus. Accommodations range from double room suites to apartments. Portions of High Mountain East and High Mountain West are dedicated to learning communities in collaboration with the University’s Honors College. Campus life includes more than 50 campus clubs and organizations, as well as sororities and fraternities, as well as numerous cultural events and other activities for students.
