High Density Housing for Foreign Single Graduate Students in Ames

Pages : 80
Book Description
In American universities the housing system in which students live when classes are in session is considered as important as other university facilities. In order to support the efforts of Iowa State University in addressing the increasing student expectations for housing and after reviewing the students' preferences for housing, this study offers another approach for the housing issue. In this thesis, first, the expectations of housing for foreign single graduate students were identified, and then, a prototype of housing based on sustainable ideas was proposed as a solution. This thesis exposes the deficiencies of the current norms of density applicable to apartments close to campus. In the future we think that the density norms should be changed to represent the necessities of the students. Alternative development standards would permit and support flexible requirements leading to more environment friendly buildings that provide cost-savings to both, the developers and the consumers.

Book Description
College districts are unique places that often times blend the culture, history, and the future direction of a city. They are places that foster knowledge, interaction, and diversity. A successful college district enables all citizens to help shape a place that is unique amongst other districts throughout the city. They are places where people relax, work, socialize, think, revolt, and reunite. They are, perhaps, the most important districts within college towns. The intent of this project is to completely reinvent a district to be one that all citizens (permanent and student) of Ames, Iowa can utilize throughout the year. Reversing the negative perceptions of Campustown through design and programming will help recreate a district that fosters interaction among students of Iowa State University and the citizens of Ames. Further, the recreation of Campustown will benefit the community in terms of image, economics, environment, and place. Campustown will no longer be perceived as an enclave of substandard student housing, trashy bars, and a district that caters to only one group. It will be a place where people come together to celebrate Ames and ISU and to come together to meet friends and family. To enable a thorough understanding of successful college districts, two case studies were examined in great detail to help understand what makes these places work. A complete site inventory and analysis of Campustown was also conducted to help determine where and what shortcomings are present throughout the site. Several different programming elements have been selected that would be appropriate to locate in the Campustown area. And finally, a complete master plan has been created that will enable Campustown to function properly long into the future for every citizen of Ames.

Book Description
The purpose of this thesis is to explain how undergraduate students at Iowa State University (ISU) think of their current housing, their mobility, their housing preferences, and criteria they use to select where to live. Based on this knowledge of student preferences, rental housing providers can adjust the rental units to reflect the needs of student tenants. Two surveys for students and property managers were set up for this research. Results from the student survey indicated that most of the students were not satisfied with their current dwelling units. The majority of respondents were planning to move in the near future, and most said they preferred to live off-campus. When looking for housing, the most important criterion they considered was the rental price.
