At this time, we do not offer family housing.

Apartments come with basic furniture. In the living room, there is a couch with matching chair, coffee table and an eating bar with chairs. Each bedroom has a bed with mattress, closet, dresser and desk with chair. Students need to provide their own dishes, drinking glasses, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, and other kitchen items. We do provide a beginning bedding package.

No. Rooms are rented on a quarterly basis only.

Rent is due when a student moves in, before the quarter starts.

The following fees are paid only one time:

• Application fee (nonrefundable): $50
• Cleaning fee (nonrefundable): $200
• Security deposit (refundable*): $300

*Security deposit will be refunded depending on move-out condition and any fines owed.

Campus View units are very competitively priced. In the surrounding area, a one-bedroom apartment typically runs between $1,200 and $1,495 each month. When renting an apartment, there is usually the added costs of utilities, such as electricity, water, sewer, garbage, cable and Wi-Fi. At Campus View, utilities are included in the rent, which runs $2,500 to $2,700 each quarter. And, depending upon how far a student lives from campus, there may be added transportation costs. Since Campus View is located on campus, there’s no commuting costs.

We have limited parking for residents. If a student has a car, then the car needs to be registered with housing.

Yes, each apartment is a single gender.

Two of the four floors are co-ed. The other two floors are gender specific: one is dedicated to male students and one to female students.

Animals of any kind are not allowed at Campus View, with the exception of special assistance animals for students with disabilities, such as seeing-eye dogs.

Students who are under the age of 18 are allowed to live at Campus View, provided they have a parent or guardian co-sign the lease agreement.

No. All Highline College students — and those attending Kaplan and CWU-Des Moines, both located on Highline’s campus — can live at Campus View.

When we originally envisioned this new student housing — what is now called Campus View at Highline College — we knew there was a need for housing for international students. Highline has more than 700 international students each year who live in a variety of off-campus locations, primarily in single-family residences with host families. As our enrollment of international students has grown over the years, we saw the need for campus-based housing.

However, most of the students attending Highline live in the community. Like many community colleges, Highline has traditionally been a commuter campus, meaning that students commute from their existing residences. During the development and construction of Campus View, we’ve seen the cost of housing in the area go up — both to rent and to own — and we realized that our local students needed affordable options as well.
