| Q. |
Do I have individual contract liability? |
| A. |
Residents of off-campus apartments are generally required to share responsibility for the entire apartment contract or lease.
That means that if one roommate does not pay his or her share - all the others have to come up with the money or face possible eviction.
At the RSU Student Apartments you have an individual contract so you will not be responsible for your roommate’s portion.

| Q. |
What is the floor plan? |
| A. |
Our four-bedroom, two-bath units can accommodate your roommate plans. Some students already have friends with whom they want to share an apartment. Other students may use our roommate matching service. Our apartments are already furnished and provide a great balance of privacy and economy. |

| Q. |
Why live on campus? |
| A. |
In addition to the obvious advantages of being close to your classes and campus activities, and having access to campus resources, studies show that students living on campus actually have a greater opportunity for growth and success. Living in a student community enhances the learning process and better prepares the individual for the real world.
Just as important, living in the RSU Student Apartments is fun. The heart of the action, the closeness of your peers, and the privacy of your living quarters are just some of the many reasons that this is the best place to get the most out of your college experience.

| Q. |
What about utilities? |
| A. |
The university pays water, electric, sewer, trash, and gas for the hot water system, which saves you about 20 percent over in-unit electric water heaters. All units are energy-efficient, well-insulated, and feature low-consumption appliances. Each unit has its own thermostatically controlled central air conditioning and heating. |
