Review options at housing.iastate.edu/places
Typically suites in Union Drive and Buchanan Hall are the most expensive
Students living in Wallace or Wilson (Towers Neighborhood) do not have to have a meal plan, but access to kitchens is limited
Traditional buildings with no A/C is least expensive: Friley, Helser, Oak, Elm, Birch Welch Roberts, Wallace , Wilson

Where to begin
HOW TO BEGIN?
Talk about college financing and create a plan to pay for college, identifying how much each family member will be contributing.
REMEMBER THAT HIGH ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE CAN HELP GUARANTEE A SCHOLARSHIP, BUT THAT MEANS PROTECTING TIME FOR ACADEMICS!
