College Courtyard - Cheaper Than the Dorms
The 2009/10 University of Nevada dorm rates have come out and as expected, the costs have gone up. A single room is now $6,100 for the fall and spring semesters and the cheapest mandatory food card is $3,175. All of this expense must be paid in advance of each semester.
The College Courtyard is a great value. At $435 a month, our residents get to stay in their apartments for 12 months (the dorms kick you out in May). A full year at the College Courtyard is almost $900 less than the nine months in the dorms---not including the food card.......and we have great kitchens with dishwashers and microwave ovens. Our DSL is free and our apartments spacious and furnished.
There's more....our parking is equivalent to Silver permit parking and it is FREE. A Silver permit at UNR is $380 per year.
In this economy, there's no better place for students than the College Courtyard Apartments.
Visit us and reserve your spot. Call for more information at 775-786-1150

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. We also ask that when ever possible you walk in groups and never alone at night. The escort service number is 784-6808.
Parking is Free and Easy
As many of you know, the University of Nevada continues to increase the parking fees on campus. The University has parking fee increases scheduled every year for the next five years. Fortunately, the residents of the College Courtyard Apartments don’t have to worry about these increases. Our residents enjoy free parking that is close to the campus. Our parking is the equivalent of Silver Permit parking and is a $380 value. With our students, instead of driving round and round looking for a parking space or waiting for a shuttle bus you can have another 20 minutes of precious sleep. That’s a real bonus and another benefit of living at the College Courtyard.
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. Hopefully spring is on its way!
Useless Fact: Astronauts get taller when they are in space.
Snacks Available
As you prepare for that final exam does the grumble of your stomach keep you from concentrating? A quick snack can help you quell those hunger pangs. New snack and drink machines are available in the first floor laundry room. It’s quick, easy and convenient.
More Uselessness: Stalks of sugar cane can reach up to 30 feet.
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.

The College Courtyard Is Nevada’s Best Off Campus Location
Location, location, location. There is nothing like the location of the College Courtyard Apartments. We are a half block from the campus and yet we are on a quiet side street. While living at the College Courtyard you can actually get up five minutes before class and still make it on time. No worries about catching a shuttle or trying to find a parking space when you live at the College Courtyard. This is just one more reason this is a great place to live.

Watch the New Gate
Please be very careful when driving through the garage gate. If the gate is going down, DO NOT try to slip under the gate. Once the gate begins to go down it will not stop if you press the button on the garage gate opener. It will only stop when it hits something and it could do considerable damage to both your car and the gate if this occurs. The gate is set to stay up an adequate amount of time for one car. You will be held responsible for any damage if the camera shows that you tried to slip through the gate inappropriately.

Be a Good Neighbor
The goal of all of the residents of the College Courtyard Apartments is to achieve a quality education at the University of Nevada. An atmosphere that is conducive for studying is imperative. Please be considerate of your roommates and neighbors and keep noise to a minimum.
Please Don’t Drink and Drive
For your safety and the safety of others, please don’t drink and drive. Your futures are too bright to be wasted by a DUI or worse. Get a designated driver, walk or call a taxi but please do not get behind the wheel of a car while under the influence.

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.

- Large kitchens with a dining table and chairs.

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.

Watch the Gate
Please be very careful when driving through the garage gate. If the gate is going down, DO NOT try to slip under the gate. Once the gate begins to go down it will not stop if you press the button on the garage gate opener. It will only stop when it hits something and it could do considerable damage to both your car and the gate if this occurs. The gate is set to stay up an adequate amount of time for one car. You will be held responsible for any damage if the camera shows that you tried to slip through the gate inappropriately.
More Uselessness: The word "maverick" came into use after Samuel Maverick, a Texan, refused to brand his cattle. Eventually any unbranded calf became known as a Maverick.

In the next few weeks, a new garage gate will be installed. The new gate will be quieter and provide more privacy than the current one.
