ENROLLMENT GROWTH & HOUSING SHORTAGES
Coastal Carolina University welcomed 2,400 freshman in the fall of 2014, a ten percent increase over the year before. The Director of Admissions was
proud to grant the university’s growth a high rating. Most students are required to live on campus for their freshman and sophomore years as a part
of a multi-faceted e!ort to increase retention. However, reports in August of 2014 stated that enough housing wasn’t available to meet the increased
demands of the students required to live on-campus. One option entertained by the Director of Housing was to house students in the apartment
complexes along Highway 501 and provide a shuttle to and from campus. Another option was to waive the on-campus requirement for select students.
The Director of Housing further mentioned that this is an issue that CCU Campus Housing has faced a number of times.
