New apartments not solution to "quality-of-life" issues
To the Editor:
Creekside Village is supposed to be designed to meet a huge demand for housing for graduate, professional and married students.
Like Flickinger (Court), from the outside, it looks like it lacks enough green space to appeal to couples with kids. Like Flickinger, it also is located too close to major roadways. Like Flickinger, I will assume that it is too expensive and too small. We need a room, our kid needs a room, then we have two computers, a printer and a scanner.
How do people manage to cram all this into two-bedroom apartments? Both housing complexes also suffer from the drawbacks of campus life�they are cut-off from the real world. If you don't have a car, you're forced to rely on UB busing, which is crowded, inconveniently scheduled and all-too-often late.
So much for "quality of life" at UB.
