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
2 installments of prepaid rent used for the final
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:
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 4 CAs a year who are paid at an
hourly rate.
