Housing Fair How to use the search options on HeelsHousing.com

The Heels Housing Web site allows users to narrow down their housing search according to the neighborhood or apartment’s distance from the Pit, cost
per rental unit per month (excluding utilities) and number of bedrooms.

It can be a pain driving all
around town viewing apartments,
listening to sales pitches and col-
lecting applications.
But with two major helpers —
The Daily Tar Heel Housing Fair
and HeelsHousing.com — finding
a new home might have become a
little easier.
DTH Housing Fair
Come for the free food, and stay
for the chance to find your new
home.
About 40 housing vendors will
fill up the Great Hall on Feb. 3 from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for The Daily Tar
Heel Housing Fair.
At the fair, students will have
the opportunity to get information
about multiple housing options
both on and off campus.
“It’s kind of like speed dating,”
said Kevin Schwartz, general man-
ager of the DTH.
Students will be able to ask ques-
tions of vendors and collect housing
applications from various locations.
The fair eliminates the time
it takes to map out and drive to
different locations for a preview,
Schwartz said.
“There’s nowhere else you can
go and see that many places in an
hour.”
The fair also makes it easier for
housing vendors to advertise to a
large audience — in the past, the fair
has attracted hundreds of students.
Kristen Liebers, a member of
the DTH marketing team who
helped organize the fair, said that
she hopes attendance will increase
and that the possibility of finding a
new place to live is only one reason
to attend the fair.
Free food will be provided from
Chick-fil-A, Dunkin’ Donuts, Cafe
Carolina and Bojangles’. Fresh pop-
corn will also be available.
Additionally, this is the first year
the housing fair will feature live
performances.
The Loreleis and Tar Heel Voices
are scheduled to perform, and the
University mascot Rameses will
make an appearance.
They’re also trying to spread the
word through Facebook groups and
a contest where students guess the
number of balloons in a glass case
in the Union.
The winner of the contest, which
will be announced at the fair, will
receive a $30 gift card to the Streets
at Southpoint. Distance from the Pit: Per rental unit Number of Bedrooms:

Dorms on campus preferred

BY Will Doran
staff writer
The Department of Housing and
Residential Education has worked
hard to promote the benefits of on-
campus living. But they may have
underestimated their own appeal.
The University is facing a
probable housing shortage in the
near future and may not have the
resources to expand options to
meet demand.
There are currently 120 extra
beds available on campus, but with
the University’s projected growth,
these may not prove sufficient.
Rick Bradley, assistant direc-
tor of the Office of Housing and
Residential Education, said there
are no immediate plans to expand
dth/bj dworak existing dorms or build new ones.
In 2001, the University created a
Kathy Escobar (left) and Kathryn Hooker, both juniors, watch TV and
talk while hanging out on Tuesday in Hooker’s Ram Village apartment. plan to determine growth on cam-
pus, which officials are still using to
guide housing decisions, including
construction projects.
All income for the housing
department comes from rent paid
by students, and despite greater
growth than was anticipated in
2001, the University will not use
funds from rent to begin new con-
struction projects, Bradley said.
Campus housing remains highly
popular among most underclass-
men. Approximately 85 percent of
freshmen choose to live on cam-
pus their first year, which Bradley
attributes to the positive aspects of
University residence hall life.
Sophomore Quinton Adams, who
has lived in multiple residence halls
on campus as well as off-campus
facilities, said he enjoys the conve-
nience University housing provides.
“I like to walk through campus
and see what’s going on,” he said.
“Living off-campus can feel too
detached at times.”
And while large numbers of fresh-
men live on campus, Bradley said a
significant number of upperclass-
men do the same. Roughly 850
seniors and just under 500 graduate
students live on campus, mostly in
apartment-style residence halls on
South Campus.
Odum Village, which offers full
apartments, and Baity Hill, which
provides married student housing,
are in high demand among graduate
students who want to live on cam-
pus. Odum Village and Baity Hill
hold about 390 graduate students.
Ram Village was opened in 2006
as part of the University’s plan to
accommodate a growing student
body. When the facility first opened,
850 students applied for 920 avail-
able spots. In comparison, 1,300
students applied for those 920 spots
for the current school year.
Bradley said he would attribute
this rise in popularity to a concert-
ed marketing effort by the housing
department to promote the option
and good word of mouth endorse-
ment among students.
The University does not keep
official statistics about which resi-
dence halls are the most requested
by students, but the substance-free
housing in Joyner and Alexander
residence halls is the most popular
living-learning community.
A large number of students
already live off-campus, a number
that might increase if demand for
campus housing increases.
Sophomore Max Shepherd, who
moved off campus after his fresh-
man year, said the biggest perks of
living off campus are the increase
in space, the opportunity to relax
and remove oneself from the school
atmosphere and having a place that
he can call his own.
“It’s nice to be able to get away
from it all sometimes, and having
a large space to work on and relax
in is great,” he said.

Jobs in housing permit Renters’ insurance endorsed
on-campus involvement
BY Shelby Marshall
staff writer
Students may help out their
peers by fixing computers, unlock-
ing doors, coordinating living and
learning programs or answering
phone calls for varying benefits.
Jobs in dorms provide many
benefits for students living on-
campus. In addition to regular pay-
ment, many employment positions
also include reduced housing rates
and meal stipends.
Within the dorms, employment
opportunities include resident
advisers, office assistants, residen-
tial computing consultants and
living-learning community coor-
dinators. All of these positions are
open to students without previous
employment in housing.
Students with previous experi-
ence can apply to be a community
manager or a RA mentor.
Alaina Barth, the Coordinator
f o r S t a ff R e c r u i t m e n t a n d
Development, said there are about
200 RAs across campus.
The position requires that appli-
cants and current employees main-
tain a GPA of 2.3 and remain in
good judicial and financial stand-
ing with the university, Barth said.
Among other responsibilities,
RAs serve in an on-call capacity,
working 12-hour shifts at a time,
she said. They must also take a
peer leadership class during their
first semester of employment.
Liz Bundy, former RA and the
current community manager for
the Cobb Community, said that her
leadership class was helpful.
“There are a lot of ambiguous
situations that you have to deal
with as an RA, and it covered a lot
of gray areas,” Bundy said of the
class.
Bundy’s position as community
manager requires two semesters of
previous housing experience and
includes the additional responsi-
bilities of 25 hours of work a week,
supervising the office assistants
and overseeing the enhancements
in her community.
“It’s important to learn how to
manage your time,” Bundy said
about balancing her job, school
work and extracurriculars.

“They help to plan programs for

munity,” Barth said.
The coordinators help share
opinions and resources among the
residents for the floor on which
they live.
Office assistants are not required
to live in the residence halls where
they work, Barth said. Office assis-
tant employees work in community
offices and are paid by an hourly
rate. Barth said that there are

Williams, ResNET manager.
RCCs are paid with free room

only a basic understanding of com-

“We spend a lot of time train-

Renovation plans for Odum Village still unclear

BY Upasana Kaku
Staff Writer
Plans for remodeling the Odum
Village Community are still in the
works as UNC awaits results from
a November survey about what
students are looking for in campus
housing.
Administrators expect results
to be in by late February, allowing
them to begin forming prelimi-
nary plans for the fate of Odum
Village, said Gordon Merklein,
director of real estate develop-
ment at UNC.
Odum was originally built in the
1960s to house students who were
married or had children.
The community now accommo-
dates about 450 full-time under-
graduate or unmarried graduate
students.
Unlike traditional campus res-
idence halls, the community of
Odum Village consists of stand-
alone buildings that are laid out
like apartments. Each has its own
kitchen, living room and dining
area.
The community must be reno-
vated or rebuilt by the fall of 2012
in order to comply with a require-
ment that all campus housing
have sprinklers installed by that
time.
While most residence halls have
already had sprinkler systems
installed, administrators were
unsure of whether it would be
worth the cost to install them in
the Odum apartments or to rebuild
the facility instead.
The Department of Housing
and Residential Education plans
to use the results from the survey,
conducted by the consulting firm
Brailsford and Dunlavey, to deter-
mine how much of the develop-
ment to demolish and in what style
to rebuild.
The residence community is still
available for the 2010-11 school
year.
The survey was not focused
specifically on Odum Village, but
asked more generally what stu-
dents liked and wanted out of cam-
pus housing.
Residents of Odum Village cited
mostly renovations such as repairs
to doors and better furniture and
windows as changes they would
like to see in any plans.
“The layout I like pretty much,”
said Yolanda Shaw, a junior biol-
ogy major.
“I like the fact that I have my
own room, so it’s more homey. I
have more privacy and it feels less
like a dorm.”
Jordan Wood, a junior chemis-
try major agreed that the design of
the apartments in Odum Village is
more private and comfortable than
most dorms.
“I love how it’s so quiet. I’m
the kind of person who wants to
come home and study, and I feel
like Odum lets me get away from
all the craziness of campus a little
bit,” she said.
“I don’t really have any com-
plaints.”
