<p>Juniper is generally for upper classmen only although I have heard of freshmen getting an apartment there due to medical conditions that require air conditioning to control dust and certain severe allergies. The Spruce dorm, located at 12th and Spruce, is liked by many freshmen due to its location. It consists mostly of 2 person studio apartments. The Furness dorm, located at Broad and Pine, is a favorite for those who are interested in suites with more room mates but with a common area connecting the bedrooms in the apartments. All the dorm apartments have kitchenettes and private bathrooms.</p>
<p>I would estimate between $300 - $400 per semester for books and supplies. Most of the books will be paperbacks (lots of plays, a variety of text books - but rarely, if ever, textbooks published by text book companies that charge a fortune). Most of my daughter’s books have been purchased from the area Borders and Barnes and Noble book stores, some on line from Amazon, some from the school’s book store.</p>
