The smaller living group is not the only advantage to the scholarship hall. McElhenny said the cost ranged from $610 a year at Miller and Watson halls to $1,600 at Douthart and Sellars halls. Residents keep the costs low by helping with cooking and maintenance.
"Students see the word 'scholarship' and think they have to be getting money from a scholarship to live in the hall." McEihenie said.
Scholarship hall residents are selected by a committee on the basis of the grades, standardized test scores and letters of recommendation.

The student looking for a little more privacy might want to check out Jayhawker Towers, the University-owned apartments across from the Burge Union.
The cost of an apartment in the Towers ranges from $420 to $480 a month and can be shared by as many as four people. Individual leases for each roommate are available.
The rent includes all utilities, and each apartment has free cable television, carpeting and central air

There are still a few vacancies in the Towers, McElhenie said.
There are 17 sororites and 31 fraternities surrounding the KU campus. Housing costs vary from $2,200 to $2,600 a year.
Philip Johnson, president of Kappa Sigma, said that the social life in a fraternity was one of the attractions.
"There are a lot of unique people in the house," he said, "and people are willing to help each other."
Students with spouses or families can also find University housing.

Stouffer Place apartments are rented to students residing with their spouses or their dependent children. Rent is set at $156 a month for a one bedroom, and $176 a month for a two bedroom apartment, Lumley said. Utilities are paid by the student, but basic cable TV is provided.
Lumley also manages Sunflower

Lawrence usually welcome KU students with open arms, and just about anything you can afford, you can get.
Couples as well as single students are welcome at Sunflower House, a cooperative living arrangement where residents share the rent and work. Deborah Altus, director, said that the house held about 30 students. Five vacancies still exist, she said Saturday, and the only requirement is that the potential occupant be a KU student.

Kuse said that the studio, one-and two-bedroom apartments were in about the average price range for Lawrence — from about $245 to $310 a month.
Lisa Greenfield, residence hall director at Hashinger, said, "People realize that they were the ones with late contracts. They would rather stay in a temporary room for a while and fight it out for an apartment."
During orientation week, students also slept in typing, pool and pingpong rooms while they waited for openings, John Young, residence director of Oliver Hall, said yesterday.

On opening day, Young said, all the motels in Lawrence were full and the halls filled their last regular rooms early on the morning of opening day.

Young said if students with contracts had not arrived by noon today their contracts would be canceled.

Trulove said people who came to garage sales were generally polite, but often showed up earlier than when the sale started.
"In general, garage sales have become an American pastime," Trulove said.
She also said some people liked
to push for a better bargain. She said she usually let them have the lower price because she didn't want to carry the items back in her house.
Trulove said she made about $200 on Saturday.
"The fun thing is to see little kids get excited about things my daughter was at one time excited about," she said.
