9 Student Housing Amenities Your Building Needs Right Now
In 2022, students are seeking more than just four walls and a bathroom. Your student housing amenities need to elevate the resident experience while enhancing convenience and security.
It’s up to you to know what amenities students are looking for in an ideal living space. With this detailed guide, you can begin customizing your property with the amenities that will delight student residents — and their parents.
3 Factors That Create Exceptional Student Housing
“Well over two years into the pandemic, today’s students have demonstrated resiliency and adapted to an ever-changing learning landscape of in-person, virtual and hybrid. This evolving classroom format has led to a shift in priorities when it comes to student housing, too. Before the pandemic, students were chasing shiny new builds on campus with a focus on modern amenities and bed-bath parity. Now, there appears to be less focus on the bells and whistles (though still important) and more attention on taking time to find a place that feels safe, comfortable, and offers a sense of community—most importantly, in an authentic way.”
Student Housing Design: 5 Trends Shaping the Industry

As a result, the student housing industry has entered its latest phase. This phase requires developers to incorporate students’ preferences and unique needs into student housing design.
Gone are the days of dormitories fitted with bunk beds and wall-mounted desks. Instead, the standards of your student housing design should create a welcoming, productive, and modern environment.

While these over-the-top amenities haven’t disappeared completely, standard amenity packages with pools, fitness centers and communal spaces are dominating student demand once again.”
5 Ways a Video Intercom System for Student Housing Improves Safety & Convenience
From small private colleges to sprawling public universities, college campuses are home to thousands — if not tens of thousands — of students. Whether a dorm has 200 beds or 2000, people are entering and exiting the building day and night. And while security is important to any multifamily building, it’s especially essential to student apartments.
The best way to keep campus apartments secure is to install a video intercom system. And not only do video intercoms improve safety, but they also add unbeatable convenience, enhancing the day-to-day experience for both student-residents and staff.
