• Today, many student housing communities are
  full of resort-style amenities. This is to keep
  up with student demands for high-quality living
  conditions. For example, Fanshawe College
  Residence is known for sophisticated
  accommodations and amenities. Communities like

  flooring, cabinets and countertops, spa-like pool
  areas, study rooms, outdoor dining facilities,

Contemporary Architecture

• As the demand for housing and real estate
  competition rises, so does the design and
  sophistication of the apartment buildings. The
  most contemporary design for student apartments
  are high-rise and podium buildings. Podium
  buildings are typically five to seven-stories of
  apartments built over garages. High-rise
  buildings are the wave of the future in
  off-campus housing. These buildings are modern
  and edgy inside and out. For instance, modern
  high-rise buildings are designed with nichiha and
  stucco exterior panels with student apartments
  that feature vinyl plank flooring and glass
  recycled counters.

  and closer to the respective universities. This
  is because students are demanding housing thats
  within walking distance to their campuses. In
  fact, there has been a recent influx of
  walk-to-campus projects. These apartment
  buildings are also close to other student housing
  and amenities.
