Living off campus means Housing can be a jungle out there! If rent, roommate, and landlord problems don’t get you. your own cooking will do you in. Life definitely can be safer and easier for a student within the dorm encampment. Four years almost completely free of responsibility for cooking, grocery shopping, housing maintenance, utility bills, house or apartment hunting and the search for neighbors close in ages and interests. Sound like a deal too good to pass up? (Most have never had it so good at home.) Surprisingly, though, the norm for Seaver students is to find off-campus housing sometime after their sophomore year. Disagreement with housing policies and the need for more privacy or greater personal freedom are a few of the reasons students seek alternative living arrangements. For the student who has made the decision to explore unknown territory (such as rental leases and the linancial arrangements for the first and last months’ rent plus damage deposit), there are a number of choices. Malibu has a host of apartment complexes, condominiums and houses available—if the student can pay the price of living in a famous, affluent beach community. Those who have difficulty with the high rents might move inland to communities such as Agoura, Thousand Oaks, and west l-os Angeles. They also have the option of moving up or down the coast to Point Dume, Santa Monica or Venice. “The drive isn’t as bad as it sounds,’’ commented Marlene Link, a senior communications major from Banning. It's only 10 minutes through the canyon and I’m closer to shops and entertainment out in Westlake. Many students add roommates to divide up the rent in- to more manageable amounts. This, however, can lead to problems like trying to convince the landlord that multiplying the number of tenants does not muliply the problems. When I explained to the landlady that we wanted four guy’s in our two bedroom apartment. she freaked. Tim Smith of Palms Springs, said. She said, ‘I know’ you college students, you'll be having all of those wild parties.' It was hard convincing her that probably the most radical thing going on would be a Bible study here and there. Other students choose to avoid landlord disputes entirely by moving Into the university-owned Latigo Bay Villas, latigo houses 310 juniors, seniors, a few graduate students and some law students. According to Jenny Mdlroy. manager of the beachside apartment complex, the main difference between the school dormitories and Latigo is the measure of independence. Not only are the rules much more liberal. Latigo just doesn't have that dorm feeling. said Mcllroy. The beach and the privacy is why I moved to Latigo, said Joan Savoldelli. a senior public relations major from Westlake Village. Overwhelmingly, off-campus students seem to prefei their choice of housing to dorm living. As Tina Moody, a senior business major living at Latigo. expressed it. I'm really getting too old for all of those rules they want to impose on you at the dorms. I am at the stage now where I’d rather watch out for myself and be allowed to come and go as I please. She continued. Living off campus here is great because I'm in such a gorgeous location and neai most of my friends and school activities—but all on my own terms. Where else can you go to school, live in Malibu, be on the beach and have such close access to campus? This is the life! —by Lisa Jurgens aFCmwt
