Each room is equipped with high-speed Internet and cable television access at no additional charge. Apartments are normally three-bedroom suites, with each bedroom shared by two students, and include full kitchens and dining and living areas. The center also contains a newsroom featuring the latest digital technology for both print and broadcast.
