An apartment building not affiliated with Austin Peay State University is fast approaching completion. It is located only two blocks away from APSU. Unversity Landing is a convenient and beneficial alternative to on-campus housing.

Landing and APSU resident halls have similarities and differences. Some of the most appealing differences include no Resident Assistants, no Health and Safety Checks, no fire drills, no curfew, a place to stay during school breaks without having to pay an extra fee and everything is completely brand new.

Some not-so-appealing differences include monthly payments that may or may not be more expensive, living off campus and commuter parking.

University Landing leases by the bed, which means that each bedroom in an apartment has a separate lease agreement.

Each resident is only responsible for the rent on his leased bedroom. So if one roommate moves out, the remaining roommates are not responsible for the rent. Each resident will sign an individual lease so that he will have sole responsibility for his own rent payment. This way, students will not be held responsible if a roommate forgets rent payments.

University Landing does not choose roommates but they do have a program to help you choose compatible roommates. University Landing is taking applications for all types of rooms for August 2006. You can apply by going online to www.universitylanding.com .
