What are the names of pet friendly apartments that allow large dogs and are not full of undergrads?

I’m not familiar with apartments further away since I only looked at nearby apartments within 5-10 min of the school. I’ve heard good and bad things about Coppertown beach but that’s usually with their leases.
I can’t really say much about the others. Of course anything very close to main campus will usually have undergrads. You can definitely always call and ask apartments who their tenants are.

of course, I’m partial to the trailer park. No need to drive to school, come home for lunch, etc.

I would say if there’s anyone that is planning on living further out and want to take the bus that’s free to students, I’d caution against it. Someone I know is constantly late when they use the bus cause schedules aren’t always on time.

The Ridge in West Ames that’s like ~10 minutes or less from the school doesn’t have pet rent. The agreement thing says dogs have to be under 25 pounds I think? But they’re not strict on that and all the dogs I’ve seen have been over that

Both Copper Beach apartments and The Quarters are nearby the vet school. I'm not sure on their pet requirements though since I'm a fan of the trailer park.

Saw a post on Facebook that someone at #71 was offered admission. Not sure how many spots are left but thought I would share.

for those of you who are trailer park fans, would you say parking at the vet school is difficult? is it beneficial to be in walking distance?

I do not live at the trailer park but have friends that do. It is never hard to find a spot in the parking lot, though sometimes if it’s later in the morning you may have to park at the further end of the lot. But it’s still not far at all. There’s always extra parking space

I have a question...some of the financial aid stuff I've read says about $1,000 a month room and board. Does this usually refer to just rent and food? I would like to live alone so I'm trying to figure what rent I can actually afford....
 
Next alternate to be called is still #72. :(

Mortensen Heights is where I currently live. There is a dog park that belongs to the complex and the clubhouse also has a place to bathe your dogs.

Depends on where you're living. Most one bedroom apartments range between $650-$900/ month i think

Do you think they will be updating us with availability of seats and new waitlist numbers anytime soon? I don't want to be a bother with emailing them!

They originally sent out an email saying you can ask for an update once a week through the portal. I don't think they mind being asked for an update. I've asked about how many seats they have left to fill and they said it's hard to tell with the way they notify people and give them time to accept.

How were you notified? Did they call you or was it by email?

It’s through the message board (but you get an email saying that you have a new message). No call at least for me. They only give about a day to accept/decline too. For some reason I thought it would be 3 days????? lol

They aren't bothered by it as long as you only do it once a week. I already asked this week. :( If you do message them, let me know!

That is crazy how fast they moved through the list. I know I shouldn't get my hopes up because I am #216, but it is hard not to.
