“People already complain about the current Fairmount rates at The Flats. Raising the rates is going to inconvenience a lot of people,” said Godwin Olekanma, a sophomore and resident at the Flats.

“I will not be living in the Flats next year. Me and my roommate had been planning to get an outside apartment anyways, but the increase in rates played a factor in our decision,” said Heaven Hill, a sophomore and resident at the Flats.
