Boning Up Almost Time for That Three o'clock Types of Residences for Men Students Homes for University men include the following classifications: residence halls, cooperative houses, fraternities, and privately operated student homes. All unmarried undergraduate men not residing with parents or relatives are required to live in University approved quarters unless they have special permission to reside elsewhere. Residence Halls for Men, operated by the University, are now reserved for the use of Army and Navy trainees. In normal times they offer facilities for over 450 students. One hall has room accommodations only, at prices which range from $108 to $153 for the academic year. All other room spaces are rented with board and vary in price from $375 to $435 for the academic year. There are three privately owned residence halls for men which accommodate a total of almost 500 students. Room and board accommodations are available in one hall at approximately $450 for the school year. Prices in units offering room only vary from $90 to $150 for the school year. Applications for residence in privately operated residence halls should be made directly to the managers of the halls. Cooperative Houses have facilities for 250 men in groups of from 15 to 40. In these units students work approximately one hour per day, and pay slightly over $25 per month for room and board. Men in doubt concerning their ability to stay in school for at least a year should not reserve a space in these units since they are closely budgeted and the loss of a member might seriously handicap the operation of the house. Members are selected on the basis of need, scholarship, character and personality. Housing organizations of this type offer satisfactory facilities at minimum cost and afford excellent opportunities for the development of individual character and responsibility. Further information concerning cooperative housing may be secured from the Division of Student Housing. Privately Operated Student Homes for Men are approved under University housing standards and display the sign— Approved Rooms for Men University of Illinois They range in capacity from 2 to 40 and provide housing for over 2500 students.
