Back in the day, this resource was called the school newspaper and its annual special section on the housing lottery. Oh, and asking your friends.

When I started at a state school in 2003 we had dorms built in the 60’s that resembled the architecture of the Soviet Union and came equipped with elevators that literally stopped mid floor that you’d crawl out of. When I finished they were tearing those down as they opened glass and steel modern high rises.
