Record Amount Of On-Campus Students Causes Housing Issues For OSU

Oklahoma State begins classes in two weeks and is expected to have a record-breaking amount of students trying to live on campus, which students say is affecting their housing arrangements.

The university says it's expecting about 100 more students than it can house.

This issue is causing frustration for not only students, but parents as well.

"It clearly feels like they had this information for a while ... and didn't have the solution, tried to get it done, and then kind of just sprung it on everybody two weeks before moving in," Ashley Chase, the parent of an OSU student said.

The university says it's offering a $1,000 scholarship and free meal plan to students willing to move off-campus.
