New Amsterdam Hotel Welcomes Students
and Travelers Alike
Catering to the mobile generation, The Student Hotel was recently
opened in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Beautifully designed space and
modern amenities such as Wi-Fi, a gym, a café, and flat-screen T.V.s
entice students to rent one of the 707 rooms available. And the rental
agreement is very flexible. Students may take a room for three nights
or for a semester, whatever their schedule demands. Additionally, the
hotel is open to graduates wanting to stay in the area as they seek out
that first job or to globe trotters who are enjoying the sights of the city.
The Student Hotel welcomes this mix of guests and encourages travelers
to join in on social opportunities like barbecues, dances, and film
screenings. Their press release sums up the accommodation like this:
"The Student Hotel is where the needs of the 21st century student and
the design-savvy traveller meet in a harmonious modern hybrid." Check

Hello, I've been tasked with looking into starting
graduate housing on my campus (1,000 beds; 1,500
undergrad enrollment; 1,000 grad enrollment). Since
this can be so varied school to school, I am interested
in responses from schools of similar size. If this is a new
initiative, what are the pros/cons of establishing it on
your campus? Unforeseen challenges/benefits?

Hello Karolina, As a new initiative, the biggest challenge was
making graduate housing cost reasonably lower than if a
graduate student would pursue housing off campus. For instance,
a graduate apartment costs $600 per month (including water,
electric, Wi-fi, and gas) and can be split between two roommates
(=$300/graduate student). We initially were going to charge $600
per graduate student, but we determined that the students could
get a higher-end two-bedroom apartment for $1,200 with better
amenities than what we offered.
