Seattle Central College opens up student housing near campus

Seattle Central College is offering a rare opportunity for students to live and study near the Broadway campus.

This fall, the college is making available apartments in the Studios on Broadway to all students at Seattle Central College or any other local higher education institution, at a 25 percent discount from the usual rate. The housing is usually reserved for international students at Seattle Central, but this year's economic and travel conditions have opened space to other tenants.

The Studios on Broadway are directly across from Seattle Central College, and only blocks away from shops, restaurants, movie theaters, and the Link light rail station on Capitol Hill.

Tenants have the option of a 12- or 9-month lease, for one, two, or three person apartments. Utilities, WiFi Internet access, and renters' insurance are included.

A one person unit ranges from $10,886 (paid in two installments) to $10,395 (paid in one installment) for a 9-month lease. Up to three people may live in an apartment, and prices are lower per person in two or three person apartments.

To be eligible for placement in the Studios on Broadway, applicants must:

• be enrolled in a local higher education institution
• be at least 17 years of age by the move-in date
