What is the projected future enrollment at the U of O? <br /> <br />Response: Mike Eyster of the University of Oregon’s housing office reports that the degree to which <br />students live off-campus is very much related to the local real estate market, including both cost and <br />availability, and the profile of the student body. Toward one end of the spectrum Portland State <br />University has 26,608 students and only 1,863 (7%) live on campus. On the other end, 81% of Stanford <br />University students live on-campus because Palo Alto housing is very expensive. Also, at Stanford there <br />are only 6,600 undergraduate students out of 19,800 total enrollments. “The Association of College and <br />University Housing Officers International” collects data. Mr. Eyster provided data for nine of the PAC <br />10 schools (accurate data from Arizona State University was not available): <br /> <br />University Per cent of Students Housed in University Housing <br />Arizona 17% <br />California (Berkeley) 20% <br />UCLA 36% <br />Southern California 21% <br />Oregon State 18% <br />Stanford 81% <br />Oregon 22% <br />Washington 23% <br />Washington State 36% <br /> <br />The University of Oregon Provost presented a strategic housing plan to the OUS Board in October 2007. <br />The Provost has made a commitment to provide on-campus housing for at least 25% of undergraduates <br />(22% now), and at least 11% of graduates (8% now) in the future. Currently 85% of freshmen live on <br />campus. The U of O is planning to replace and expand much of their existing housing because it is old <br />and obsolete for today’s needs. <br /> <br /> Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M080721\S0807211.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
