At The College Courtyard - Individual Leases Protect Our Residents

One of the great things about living at the College Courtyard Apartments is the individual leases. If one of your roommates skips out you are not responsible for their rent. That isn't the case if you rent a traditional apartment or house. If your roommate skips out you must pay the difference. No worries like that at the College Courtyard.

College Courtyard - More of What Makes Us The Best In Student Living

  • A five minute walk to the center of the campus. No waiting for shuttles or paying for an expensive parking permit. Our free parking is equivalent to Silver permit parking - a $380 value.
  • A sink and vanity in each bedroom. No waiting for your roommate to "get beautiful".
  • No Stacked Parking - Some of our neighboring apartment complexes have stacked parking. One car is parked in front of the other. Can you imagine needing to go somewhere and the owner of the car behind you is nowhere to be found? That won't happen at the College Courtyard. All of our residents have single garage or permit street parking.
  • Large kitchens with a dining table and chairs.
  • Located on a quiet side street.
  • Gated with security cameras at all of our entrances.
  • Owned locally by University of Nevada graduates. We take great pride in our University, Apartments and the Students who live in our facility.

College Courtyard - Cheaper Than The Dorms

A single room at the University of Nevada dorms is $5,990 (not including the expensive food card). Divided by 12 months that's $500 a month. At the College Courtyard Apartments, our most expensive lease is $445 a month. Our apartments include free parking, free DSL and a beautiful kitchen. Oh, and one more thing...you get to stay for 12 months. At the dorms they kick you out in May...so....your rent is really $665 a month. Another reason we are the best in student living.

Cook in Your Apartment and Save!!!


Each of the apartments at the College Courtyard have spacious kitchens that include stove, oven, microwave and a dishwasher. Compared to the dorms and their expensive food cards we are a great bargain. The University forces all dorm students to select one of these food card options when living in a dorm:

Platinum for $4,099 (21 meals per week)

Gold for $3,899 (11 meals per week)

Silver for $ 3549 (9 meals per week)

Bronze for $2,999 (7 meals per week)


These are the 2008/09 school year prices. Want to bet they are going up in the next year? That's right, the minimum food card is a whopping $3,000 with only seven meals a week. Maybe it's a forced weight loss program. Do you know how much food you can buy at Walmart for that much money? Plenty. And that's for just one student. Our residents often cook together to save even more.

Message from Rebecca

It is really nice to have you return “home” from the holidays and I hope that each of you had a great time with your families and friends. To repeat our wish for the New Year, I hope that all of you will help to keep the complex clean, quiet and safe. Your guests need to be reminded that they should not climb over the planters or railings to enter the complex. Remember, you are responsible for any damage they cause. Being a considerate and responsible resident goes a long way in having a great place to live for everyone. You and your guest’s behavior not only affect your apartment but also can disrupt others. It is our wish that everyone work together to make this a great place to live. It takes all of us to accomplish this task. Welcome home!

For Your Safety

The safety of our residents is of the highest priority. The College Courtyard Apartments are under 24-hour video surveillance and all entrances are gated. You can do your part to make sure the College Courtyard Apartments are a secure and safe place to live. Never give your key or garage transmitter to others. Please report any damage or repairs that may be necessary to maintain safe conditions. That would include lights out in the common areas, parking garage, stairwells, front entrance and laundry rooms.

Watch Your Step

During the winter months we make every effort to keep the sidewalks and stairs free of snow and ice. Never the less, please use caution after a storm. Use the handrails on the stairs and step carefully when on the sidewalk to the north of the building as it is steep and gets little sun.

Useless Fact: The word Himalayas means the "home of snow."

More Useless Facts: The third biggest party day after New Year's and Super Bowl Sunday is Halloween.

Laundry Rooms Don’t Like Cold Weather

During the cold winter months it is important that the windows in the laundry rooms remain closed. Open windows may cause the pipes to freeze and cause considerable damage. This will force us to close the laundry rooms until they are repaired. None of us want that to happen so please be careful.

Useless Fact: Astronauts get taller when they are in space.

Need More Storage Space?

The College Courtyard has storage lockers available for rent for only $25 per month. The 4’ by 5’ lockers are located on the second and third floors. These storage lockers are a great place to store skis, bicycles, or camping equipment. See Rebecca for more information.

Snacks Available

As you study for your exams does the grumble of your stomach keep you from concentrating? A quick snack can help you quell those hunger pangs. Snack and drink machines are available in the first floor laundry room. It’s quick, easy and convenient.

Useless Fact: DC-10, the name of an airplane stands for "Douglas Commercial."

No Parking

The area in front of the dumpster is a no parking zone. Cars parked in the area in front of the dumpster are subject to towing. In addition, Reno Disposal writes down the license plate number of cars that block the dumpster and violators may have to pay for additional garbage pickups.

Useless Fact: The most expensive spice in the world is saffron.

Vacuum

A vacuum is available for your use. If you wish to borrow our vacuum it can be checked out at the office. Please return the vacuum immediately after use, as other students may need to use it.

2009/2010 School Year

Residents wishing to stay at the College Courtyard after their current lease expires must inform Rebecca by March 1, 2009. If notice is not received by March 1st we will assume that you intend to vacate your apartment when your lease expires and we will begin the process of leasing it to new students. Please note, we will not be raising rent for students who re-sign leases before March 31, 2009.

Useless Fact: Istanbul, Turkey is the only city in the world located on two continents.

Your Free Parking Is a $380 Value

Parking at the University of Nevada is expensive. Silver permit parking is real expensive. The annual fee to park in a silver permit lot is $380. The parking lot at the southwest corner of Sierra and 11th is silver permit parking. Right across the street is the College Courtyard Apartments. Our residents enjoy the value of silver permit parking for free. Go to unr.edu and find the parking permit and fee map to compare.

Useless Fact: The country of Fiji is made up of 332 islands.

Please Don’t Drink and Drive

Your safety is important to us. Please don’t drink and drive. If you drink alcohol (please be 21 years of age and older) get a designated driver or walk home. Don’t ruin your life with a DUI or worse, death of yourself or others. It’s not worth it.
