Yeah, student accommodations seem to be getting more and more upscale. I think that most of the 'features' this company includes in their projects would be essentially unused in our climate, however. Open-air pools, rooftop decks, sand volleyball decks... school lasts from October through June; with the average temperature of winter being what, 40 degrees F? And around 10 hours of overcast skies? Lol...

On the other hand, having more housing around PSU is an absolute must, as it means that many fewer wealthier students driving their BMWs and Maseratis in from Lake Oswego, Beaverton and Hillsboro!
