Parents
Moving off campus is a rite of passage for most students – another step on their road to independence. At The Lodge Apartments, our goal is to make that transition as easy as possible for you and your child.
Professional Management and
Maintenance
________________________________________________________
The Lodge
Apartments offers
professional on-site management and 24-hour, on-site maintenance.
Our staff lives and works on site, and annually participates in
extensive customer service training to make your student’s living
experience a memorable one.
Our local executive director is supported by skilled and
experienced teams focused on resident services, maintenance, and
residential life.
Students who need assistance can meet with team members in the
office, or fill out work request forms online for added
convenience.
Individual Leases & Financial
Responsibility
______________________________________________________
At The Lodge Apartments, we
offer individual leases by the bedroom (not the unit). This is
different from a traditional, with one major benefit: You are never
responsible for paying a roommate’s rent, even if they graduate or
transfer.
The Lodge requires each student to have a “Guarantor,” or a
person 25 or older who is a resident of the U.S. that will vouch
for the financial responsibility of the lease. If a Guarantor is
not available, a “Prepaid Approval” is an alternative and requires
1 1/2 installments of prepaid rent used for the final 1
1/2 lease installments.
All-Inclusive Living
________________________
Moving your child out on their own can be expensive. At The Lodge, we support families with many student-friendly amenities that are free and included in the overall rent to help ease the financial burden. There is no additional charge for:
- Internet
- Water
- Cable TV
- Furniture
- Full-Size Washer/Dryer
- Fitness Center
- Computer Lab with Free Printing
- Study Rooms
- Tanning
- Monthly Social Events
Safety & Security
______________________
The safety and security of residents is our number one priority at The Lodge. In addition, we have locks on all building doors, apartment doors, bedroom doors, and windows. There are security cameras throughout the community, and security is enhanced after hours with courtesy officers and community assistants who are on call and live on site.
Residential Life
____________________
The
Lodge is a social
community with a vibrant residential life program focused on
social, physical, charitable and educational activities (and many
free food events, too!). Residents are active participants in a
variety of monthly resident events hosted by our team of dedicated
community assistants and managers.
The Lodge also regularly offers popular social events such as
volleyball tournaments, breakfast on the go, and other fun ways to
meet new friends and create lasting college memories.
Community Assistants
____________________________
Every year, many students
hope for the opportunity to become one of The
Lodge Community Assistants (CAs). CA's are assigned to groups
of residents, and offer peer guidance and support during a
student’s transition to off-campus housing. CA's contact residents
weekly, and assist them with everything from how to use appliances
to roommate problem-solving.
The CA position provides students with valuable resume-building
experience through their work as a community leader, problem
solver, event planner, sales associate, and friend.
The Lodge hires approximately 8 CAs a year who are paid at an
hourly rate.
