These jobs pro- vide a hands-on approach to learning (while earning!) as well as determining a professional focus for the career-conscious student. A controlled working envi- ronment can aid a student in making the transition from academic to pro- fessional life as well as add weight to a lofty re- sume.

LIFE ON THE OUTSIDE W -Pam Lloyd ith the desire for more freedom, more priva- cy, or just more living space, many students found themselves searching off campus for a place to live. Al- though 26,000 students were enrolled, the cam- pus could house only a limited number in It ' s fourteen residence halls. As a result, campus housing filled quickly, leaving many students in temporary living areas or forcing them to look to- v ard off campus hous- ing. Students looked to pri- vate dorms like Cash Hall and Osceola Hall. Al- though these were more Mom, Send Moneyl Aggrevat- ed with the high cost of living, Tom Rushmore tries to figure out how to pay his biiis. expensive than campus dorms, they included meal plans and cleaning serv- ices, along with other ame- nities not included in cam- pus housing costs. Many rented apartments, con- dominiums, and houses, splitting the cost with roo- mates to make it more af- fordable. Some students even invested in buying a condominium or house which would definitely benefit them in the future. Whether renting or buying, the space allowed much more freedom. The reasons were numer- ous for living on your own. There were certainly no more restricted or limited visitations, friends could come and go as they pleased, not having to call to be let in or forced to leave at a certain time. Students also had more pri- vacy in that loud radios, screaming fire drills, and disturbing neighbors were not frequently problems found in apartments or houses. Food was also a choice feature for those not interested in cafeteria style entrees. A private kitchen with all the amen- ties of a refrigerator, an ov- en, and often a microwave allowed for a freedom of choice when it came to breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the ever so famous midnight snack. Still more were in search of the in- creased living space that a residence hall certainly could not offer. Many made this decision after liv- ing on campus, while oth- ers took one glance at the small living area and de- cided immediately. Convenient amenities were also a plus in apart- ments and condomini- ums. Easy access to pools, tennis courts, rac- quetball courts, along with recreation rooms and nautilus equipped gyms attracted those in- terested in physical ac- tivities. To some, a residents hall may have been the place to be, but for those who were lookinQ for more — more free- dom, more amentities, and more space — an off campus house, apartment, or condo- minium was definitely the place to be.
