There were some recent questions about the Ross Univrersity Housing. I was just browsing the new Ross Housing Website and found more information and pictures of the Ross University Housing (RUH). Here is the link for information on these student apartments:

They appear much improved from when they were the Portsmout Beach Hotel (PBH) and come with the following:
Dual voltage, Water, Great Location (about as close to campus as one could get), Enclosed Setting and Campus Security, Swimming Pool (the only other apartment with a pool is Avies Ville), Daily Cleaning Service,
A/C, DSL INTERNET , Modem rental included, GENERATOR!! Refrigerator and Microwave. Optional VOIP Phone service $30US per month (includes free calling to US). I think I paid $25US just for local phone service. The cost is $395/month.
This options really takes the stress and anxiety off of new students. Its a great deal and very convenient. Student can then look off campus in future semesters once they are oriented to the area. These rooms may not be large enough for a family and they don't have a kitchen, but for a single student who doesn't plan on cooking a lot, it looks great.
By the way, here is the link to the new RUSM Housing Website for other housing options if it hasn't been posted here before:

The new RUH should create competition in the area and lower the local housing prices as well.
