Canzano: Next Pac-12 expansion bite getting a little clarity
Probably the journalist with the most connections out west is John Canzano. For those of you, like me, who think this Pac idea would be great for us and Texas State to do together, well, as usual, you'll come to realize that you want this more than the university does. You cannot want more for a university as a fan than its leadership wants...
Just some rough numbers...I didn't do a whole lot of research on this just some cursory web searches.
The University of Texas enrolls 50,000+ students. They have 7,000 beds on campus in 14 residence halls. They have another 1,900 beds off-campus in university-owned apartments. So, 7,000/50,000 = 14% live on campus in residence halls and 86% live "off-campus."
The University of North Texas enrolls around 47,000 students. We have 5,620 beds on campus in 15 residence halls. So, 5,620/47,000 = 12% live on campus in residence halls and 88% live "off-campus."
Does anyone consider UT a commuter school?
The general story (for us, UT and other universities growing in enrollment) is that demand for on-campus housing far exceeds the supply. If we want to build a new basketball arena, make it a multi-function facility (classrooms and housing - like Ohio State did with its football stadium).
