Aberdeen colleges face student housing shortage

Talk about it

ABERDEEN (AP) — Presentation College and Northern State University are looking for more housing to accommodate the growing number of students at their campuses in Aberdeen.

NSU President Jim Smith tells the media that the school is now converting some rooms that have been used for other purposes into dormitory rooms.

Smith says the university needs another residence hall. He says the school has no plans right now to build more student housing, but officials are considering the idea.

Student housing is also near capacity at Presentation College. The school is beginning a planning process to look at various issues, including student housing.
