Costly comforts shaping Kansas higher education housing
Kansas State Regents and Kansans fret rising tuition while campus housing booms reshape debt concerns. Wichita State University builds a $65 million residence hall with $10 000 to $12 000 annual living costs, KU and K State plan new or renamed halls totaling about $48 million and $76 million respectively. High end amenities and technology drive demand as on campus living costs rise beyond current older dorm rates, complicating the affordability debate.
