Housing Office: a convenient service for students and community members Asst. News ecfitor The Off-Campus Housing Office, located at Campus Connection in the Student Center, helps students find local housing, lists their contracts for sale, and also gives information to compare pricing and locations of local student complexes. For the convenience of students, the Housing Office offers three options for students to search for local housing: a website, an information packet, and bulletin boards for students and community members to advertise their contracts. "By searching the website and the housing boards, UVU students can connect with other students yvho are trying to get out of their contracts," said Gus Pacchiega, Campus Connection Assistant Manager. "In most cases these students are desperate to sell their contracts and you can find great bargains like people who are willing to pay first month's rent or deposit fees." Burgess said that if stuPacchiega added that by using the website, students dents are looking to sell their are able to search for listings contracts by using the housby city, rent price, number ing boards they need to fill of rooms, unit type and min- out a 3 x 5 card, which will imum and maximum rent be taken down two weeks after it is posted. price.

ZONE from • A1 bles, open cans, and get them to participate in the demonstration." Another feature of the Zone is the Tiki Hut, which is a place where students can go for advice concerning various topics. "We have a professional from Utah Community Credit Union who gives advice to students every Tuesday at noon at the Tiki Hut," said Flygare. "You can sit down and ask the professional any financial questions you want, and they will answer them and also give you a free smoothie to drink." In addition to these features, the Zone offers a Cars & Drivers forum on certain days, where students can get free advice about a problem they might be having with their car from mechanics from the automotive department. Flygare said that the mechanics may be able to answer your automotive question on the spot or they may have you bring it in for a free consultation. The purpose of the Zone is to connect students to the campus and with other students. 'if you feel connected, it empowers you in so many ways," said Flygare. "You are healthier physically, psy- chologically, and you will perform better in the classroom." He added that if students feel socially connected with campus, they will stay, which increases student retention rate for the university. "You don't need an appointment, you don't need to pay for anything, and you don't need to do anything except come, sit down, and learn," said Flygare.
