Some residents feel quite at home in Campus Village.
Sutee Sujitparapitaya, associate vice president for institutional research, said his only complaints were that parking gets crowded and the residence's parking garage doesn't have an elevator from the second floor.
"I feel bad for people with kids, or getting groceries, going up and down," he said.
Other than that, though, said he Sujitparapitaya enjoys the short walk to work and what has so far been a peaceful stay, unburdened by any noise from students living nearby.
"The only noise I hear is from my neighbor," Sujitparapitaya said.
A couple of Building B students also appreciate the quiet of living across from the faculty residence halls.
"It's actually kind of peaceful," said Jessica Frank, 20, a junior broadcast journalism major. "I used to live on the other side, with all the freshmen coming back."
She also said quiet hours are enforced pretty strictly in Building B, so it's peaceful for Building A as well.
Patino agreed, saying "This has been one of the nicest places I've lived. Period."
He continued, "It is great. I've made some great new friends, and I have a six-minute commute."
The prices range from $965, for a single-room unfurnished occupancy, to $1,645, for a two-bedroom furnished occupancy, Brown said.
Patino, who said he's done the math and checked out all of the alternatives, said the prices are very competitive for apartments of the caliber of those in Building A.
He also said utility prices are supposed to go up, and his rates are locked in, so he's safe.
Patino said he previously lived in Watsonville, which created a situation for a lengthy and expensive commute.
Now, though, in Building A, Patino said he has a six-minute walking commute to work, has lost all of the stress of sitting in rush-hour traffic and is even saving money from the gas he's not using.
