IDS presents 11th annual Housing Fair

The 11th annual IDS Housing Fair will take place Wednesday in Alumni Hall near Starbucks in the Indiana Memorial Union, 900 E. Seventh St.\nMore than 100 property-management representatives will be available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to answer questions about housing for next year. The fair is sponsored by the Indiana Daily Student.\n"I wish more students understood what it was," said junior Katie Brodahl, the fair's advertisement coordinator. "It's a great opportunity and I wish students would realize it and take advantage of it."\nThe fair allows students to sign leases or make appointments to tour complexes during the event. Students will have the opportunity to locate and research housing options for next year and have their specific questions answered, Brodahl said.\nInstead of students having to call the various complexes, all representatives from the near-campus area will be located in the same room at different booths. Students can go to each booth to check out the different areas they can live next year. \n"A lot of people don't realize you can sign a lease right there," Brodahl said. "You take it a step further and are not just introduced. It's very convenient and benefits the students"
