When she received the email that said she would have to be out of her apartment by next summer, LSU doctoral student Aswathy Anakkhatil Pradeep said she felt a mix of surprise and stress. According to an email LSU sent to Anakkhatil Pradeep and other residents of her building, the university plans to permanently close the Edward Gay Apartments on June 1, Built inthe apartment complex has traditionally served as the on-campus home to graduate students, international students, married students or students with children.

Current residents will be allowed to renew their lease for the school year and stay until the June 1,closure date. But the university will not be accepting new lease applications. Peter Trentacoste, the executive director of LSU Residential Life, said demand for family housing is down significantly. And the cost maintaining the gay to a standard the university finds acceptable is too high to justify keeping the apartment open for new residents beyond next summer.

He said LSU will refund the money for any remaining lease period at Edward Gay as current residents find new places to live over the next year. As an international student at LSU, Anakkhatil Pradeep says she is in the United States on an F-1 edward visa that lets her work a maximum of 20 hours each week at a job that must be on campus.

Trentacoste said there are several other apartments in the area with relatively similar rent based on square footage. Edward Gay Apartments makes our commute really easy at night, but if we have to go to an outside apartment at night it could be dangerous," she said.

Anakkhatil Pradeep said she feels safe making the frequent trip to Edward Gay from her lab after midnight because of the closer commute, an incentive that sold her on the apartment complex in the first place. Trentacoste said that, while many of the other options available to Edward Gay residents are off campus, they're close enough to campus that finding other housing should be easier to do as time passes.

He said the university is giving the students more than a year's notice so they can hunt for those alternatives. Email Terell Wilkins at gay theadvocate. Edit Close. E-Edition Newsletters. Francisville St. Share this. Some edward students worry about finding an apartment they can afford.
