Street Parking
If you park on Seminary Street, remember to pick up your
new street parking permit from the office. . The permits issued last year expired
on June 30, 2017. Permits will only be given to students who have signed a new
lease. Students who park on the street and will be leaving in August will be
given a spot in the garage. We don’t want to you get a ticket so please stop by
the office and get your new permit.
Message from Phyllis
July rent is now due. If you are leaving us in August,
pay only half of the July rent as we will apply your last month’s rent to the
rest of the July and the first half of August. If you are staying with us,
thank you, and pay the full amount as normal.
Interesting Fact: A toaster uses almost half as much energy as a

Parking is Free and
Easy
As many of you have heard,
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. With our students, instead of driving round and round
looking for a parking space you can have another 20 minutes of precious sleep.
That’s a real bonus and another benefit of living at the College Courtyard.
No Hover Boards
Until a safe hover board is
manufactured, they are banned from the College Courtyard Apartments. These
devices have proved to be dangerous——especially when being charged. Having a
hover board in your apartment could lead to eviction.
Interesting Fact: Bananas are
curved because they grow towards the sun.
Interesting Fact: King Henry VIII slept with a gigantic axe beside him.

to store skis, bicycles, or camping equipment. See Phyllis for more
information.
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.

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.
Laundry Rooms
Please
be considerate of your neighbors and do not leave your clothes in the washers
or dryers unattended after the washing and drying cycle
No Stacked Parking
Some of our neighboring apartment
complexes (to the west and north) have stacked/tandem 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.
Security is Important
Security at the College Courtyard
Apartments is a priority. All of our entrances are under 24 hour video
surveillance. Recently we installed additional gates and barriers to make the
complex even more secure. At night the College Courtyard Apartments are very
well lit and there are no dark corners. We encourage our residents to monitor carefully
who is buzzed into the courtyard.
Look Both Ways
It is very
important that all of you be careful when crossing Sierra Street. Even though
the crosswalk is well marked many drivers are speeding or not paying attention
to pedestrians.
Interesting Fact: If you leave everything to the last minute… it will only take a minute.

clean. We continually strive to keep the complex clean, quiet and safe for all of

No Stacked/Tandem Parking at the College Courtyard Apartments.
Some of our neighboring apartment complexes (to the east and north - OK, College Terrace) have stacked/tandem 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. In the garage or on the street...it's the student's choice.
Security is Important at the College Courtyard Apartments.
Why the College Courtyard Apartments are a better choice.
The College Courtyard Apartments are the best for University of Nevada student living. Here's a few reasons why:
•We are on a quiet side street on the West side (the best side) of the University of Nevada. Seminary Avenue is quiet with little traffic (unlike very busy and noisy Sierra Street).
•You don't need to worry or pay for shuttle service. The shuttles to some apartment complexes are expensive and only come infrequently.
•No stacked/tandem parking. Each resident of the College Courtyard has an assigned parking space or open street side parking (Your choice). Our neighboring apartment complex (College Terrace) has stacked parking - one car behind the other. Very inconvenient. Our parking is FREE!
•Each bedroom has a sink and vanity. No waiting for your roommate to get ready.
•Free DSL/WiFi.
•We have very well insulated apartments with double pane windows. This keeps the power bill low both in the summer and the winter.
•We pride ourselves in keeping the building in great condition.
•We are locally owned and operated by University of Nevada graduates - not some faceless corporation or out of the area owner.
There's a reason the College Courtyard Apartments are always full. We have great students as residents. Google our competitors. One was ordered by the City of Reno to hire security guards as there were so many unruly parties. Ask to walk around the complex of our neighbors without being escorted. Sure the model rooms look good.....check out where you really will live. Some don't even shampoo the carpets before you move in. Yes, you get what you pay for. There is a reason we are considered the favorite off campus place for University of Nevada students. We offer the best value, location and amenities for the student dollar. And we are nice people too. We appreciate our residents and want them to truly enjoy their college experience.
