Why is South Campus a good place for student housing?
The largest population that has expressed a need for housing has been our international students. Many of them arrive at Art Center with no car, no insurance and no driver’s license. Even though the literature sent to them describes where Art Center is located, the reality of being in Southern California with minimal public transportation doesn’t really register until they arrive here. Housing at the South Campus will allow students to be close to campus with access to the Gold Line, which can get them to downtown Pasadena and downtown L.A. They also will be able to take the shuttle to the Hillside Campus (shuttles will be increased once the housing is in place).
