Finding an apartment that meets your needs is tough. Fortunately, members of the local housing community know this.

The Mount Pleasant Community Housing Fair took place Tuesday in the Bovee University Center Rotunda Room. Students gathered to find a place to live next year.

“The housing fair gives students at CMU the chance to check out information on different apartment complexes in the area,” said Oak Park senior Timothie Davis, an advertising representative for Central Michigan Life, who hosted the event.

Representatives from apartment complexes around Mount Pleasant talked to students about their facilities. This was the second housing fair held this academic year.

“The housing fair is not just for learning about apartments. It’s also a place where you can play games to win free things, like T-shirts,” said Carlton senior Liz Presson, an advertising manager at CM Life.

Saginaw senior Kelsey Kruse represented the Tallgrass apartments. Kruse said her apartment complex is place for students comfortable and relaxing.

“Tallgrass is a really fun place to live. It’s very affordable,” she said.

The complex is currently offering a forty-two inch screen televisions with their apartments, she said.

“It’s a really nice place to live because you don’t have to walk somewhere to do your laundry,” Kruse said.

Mid-Michigan Community College sophomore Alyssa Chmile currently lives in the Copper Beach apartments and was representing Copper Beech at the housing fair.

“I definitely love having my own space. The bathrooms, closets and kitchens are huge,” she said. “I feel like I live in a house, rather than an apartment,”
