Cate Center Significantly More Affordable than Towers
Although the Cate Center quads are undergoing renovations, Cate is still the most affordable of the residence halls.

The Cate Center rooms are the last to be upgraded; therefore the prices are significantly lower than the Adams, Couch or Walker towers. The cost is $4,312 for a single room in the quads, while the price to live in the towers is $5,010 for a single room, according to the Housing and Food Services website.

“I had to switch from the Cate Center dormitories to Couch dormitories because the difference in price was not worth the lack of quality,” freshman Laurence Greene said, a former Cate Center resident.

The plan is to completely finish upgrading all four dormitory options.
