While British Knights was the more popular shoe, I always rooted for Catholic Knights as the hometown brand.

Anyone ever live there?  I had a friend who had a 1BR there for a year.  Great view, dump of an apartment more or less.

I would guess that they have already reached out to Marquette and they declined at this time.  Actually not sure what they would do with it.  I'm pretty sure Aurora owns the vacant lot just across Wells St. from the AL so I don't think there is any adjoining property.  Would they have use for the Tower Apartments that occupy the upper portion?

The demand for upper class apartments outstrips the supply. They would be full in a New York minute.

Gotcha.  Then this may be a good idea.  They could either use or lease out the office space below.  Provided the building is in decent shape.

However they would know how to crunch the numbers more than I would.

I have known several mid- and upper-level professionals who have lived there, and they are the kind of people I wouldn't think would live in "a dump".

Maybe your friend just had one of the least desirable units. Or maybe it's just your friend's living habits.

I lived there for a year. I wouldn’t call it a dump. It seemed pretty comparable to other apartments I lived in after undergrad.

I should have said "on-campus" apartments. There are plenty of parents whose children are too precious to live out in the neighborhood.

I saw a post recently in which a parent asked for recommendations for a "safe" shopping center for their kid to buy some clothes. The kid is a 20 year old man.

I mean, I could start a gofundme to turn it into the MUScoop building...But I've been too busy designing a dirt bike track for the MUScoop yacht.

Acquiring this building would be a sound long term investment for MU. It is really a no brainer. I am sure they will have to pay a premium given the market dynamics. However ; any time the University can acquire adjacent property it should take advantage of the opportunity. It can figure out what to do with it later.
Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

These are legit questions that any concerned parent would raise. Not all crimes are reported. The west end of campus has had several armed robberies of students in the middle of the afternoon. MU needs to step up their safety measures before its too late. What do other universities, who are in crime ridden areas, do? Blue light phones and video cameras aren't going to be a deterrent. How many here are willing to drop $60k/year to have your son or daughter basically live in the hood, hey?

There are a lot of people who fall in that category.

Over the top. Marquette’s neighborhood is miles better than when I was a student.
