The number of KU student housing contract applications is lower than last year's figure, a housing official said yesterday.
"We're running 192 fewer applications in hand than last year," said Ken Stone, director of student housing.
received 3,384 applications compared to 3,192 this year. The target occupancy is 4,200 residents, 450 being females.
Students apply for admission and then apply for housing contracts, Stoner said.
"It might have to do with the new application fee," Stoner said. "We tend to reflect what is going on in the University. It's hard to sort out what has an impact on what."
Bruce Lindvall, director of admissions, said that the number of housing applications was low because of the new $15 admission application fee.
Also, admission applications are down because the number of graduating high school students in Kansas and the United States has decreased, Lindvall said. There also is a downward trend in the number of students making multiple applications to universities.

"I see students are taking more time this semester to make their decisions," he said.
Lindvall said that $10 was the cheapest application fee and that the average was $15 to $25.
From the time they receive their contracts, students have three weeks to return them to assure a space for next year. If contracts are not returned within that time period, the spaces are offered to other students.
Stoner does not attribute the $160 housing fee increase to the decrease in housing applications.
KU residence hall rates are the lowest among Big.
Eight Conference schools, Stoner said. A double-occupancy room costs $2,496 a year and a single occupancy costs $3,120 a year.
