With rent for apartments averaging about $1085 a month, $1256.25 wouldn’t seem high with about 40 meals included, if this was the price per room. But this is the price per student per room.

Finding a one bedroom apartment for this price would leave many options open, and finding a room for about $2500 a month would give you almost anything you wanted.

There are, however, the perks. Living on a college campus with only students with 24/7 surveillance makes it safer already. And with 100 percent of the residents being students, it makes it that much more enjoyable, already. With all the rooms being filled every year, the demand is obviously there. If you get what you pay for, then living around hundreds of young guys and girls with their hormones peaking is worth about a grand a month and an extra roommate.

Put this in your mouth and swallow!

If there’s one thing students love, it is to live!

Eating keeps this love alive more than anything. The fees you pay to live on campus come with three different mandatory meal plans. The traditional 10 meal plan offers 10 meals per week at either of the two dining halls. The traditional 19 meal plan offers 19 meals per week. The Block Plus Flex Plan offers 160 meals per semester but at any time wished to be used. The Block Plan offers students a chance to save all 160 meals for the last day and splurge like there’s no tomorrow.

A dining hall will be available for food swallowing Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 9:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Food must be salvaged or found elsewhere on Sundays as the dining halls are closed possibly do to fasting purposes. Meals at the dining halls can be purchased individually at $5 for breakfast, $6 for lunch, and $7 for supper.

Rules are Rules: Residence Halls CSULB

Having a complex filled with only college students might get freaky if no rules were in place. Unfortunately for the freaks there are rules.

There is no curfew, but with the rules against any alcohol on campus it leaves room for only late sober nights. Smoking cigarettes are only allowed outside the halls.

Invited guests are allowed in the halls as long as it is mutually acceptable to both roommates. Guests of the same sex can stay overnight with roommates permission, which means no heterosexual cuddling can be done between 2 a.m. and 8 a.m. since these are the hours which are considered overnight.

No pets are allowed, unless they are rocks.

There are no age requirements for living in the dorms, except a requirement for first time Freshman, under 22, not living at home, to live in the halls.

All of the rules are assumed to be followed by all residents, even if some people believe what momma don’t know, won’t hurt her.

I returned to my house friday night and was very hungry. I opened the refrigerator and found some old food. I wisely took the food out and placed it on a microwave safe plate. Five minutes later the food was hot from the microwave. But I only put it in for 2 minutes and let it cool down for 3 more. It was not that great since it was old.
