\nIn late August, La Casa Student Housing opened its doors for a new academic year and welcomed 62 new students\u2014tripling last year\u2019s total occupancy. It\u2019s an exciting jump in enrollment that underscores the fact that more students are hearing about La Casa\u2014and more of them are choosing it as a place to live, learn, and thrive together.
\nLike last year, this year\u2019s students arrive with one goal: to earn their bachelor\u2019s degrees. Whether it means completing a current four-year program or transferring from an existing two-year program into a bachelor\u2019s, La Casa\u2019s students came here knowing that they will get the support they need.
\nMost of that support will come from Maria Bucio, Director of La Casa who has worked tirelessly not just to spread word of La Casa to students and schools, but to make each and every student feel like part of the La Casa family.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re so excited about our new students,\u201d says Bucio. \u201cThey came here with a lot of energy and enthusiasm, and they\u2019re committed to earning their bachelor\u2019s degree. I\u2019m looking forward to working with all of them and helping them realize their potential.\u201d
\nAmong La Casa\u2019s new students are Montserrat Cazares and Ulises Bahena, two UIC students who heard about La Casa from friends.
\n\"\"\u201cI love living here, I love being in Pilsen, I love being so close to school,\u201d says Montserrat Cazares, who is majoring in Psychology and minoring in Spanish and Italian at UIC. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely getting me more involved in school.\u201d
\nFor Bahena, La Casa was a chance to finally have a quiet place to study while getting the academic support he needed.
\n\u201cLa Casa is closer to campus,\u201d he says, \u201cand people help you out a lot here. You don\u2019t have to be alone. At home I wouldn\u2019t really have the quiet and peace to be able to succeed.\u201d
\nAs students are seeing, La Casa isn\u2019t just about studying. It\u2019s about building friendships and experiencing the kind of student camaraderie that they\u2019d find on-campus. Movie nights and late-night study groups are already part of life at La Casa, but on Saturday, September 28, a large group of La Casa students went to see the Chicago White Sox in action at U.S. Cellular Field.
\n\u201cThat\u2019s what I want our students to know,\u201d says Bucio. \u201cThat college life is about getting the support you need to succeed, but also the companionship of friends and colleagues so that you have fun while earning your degree.\u201d
\nAs word of La Casa continues to spread, more students are hearing about its benefits as a student housing option that combines the benefits and community of on-campus living with the affordability of off-campus housing. Some of these students, in fact, come from as far away as the Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma de M\u00e9xico (UNAM); more than 50 UNAM students made La Casa their casa during the summer as part of an international exchange between UNAM and UNAM\u2019s Chicago campus.
\n\u201cLa Casa is fast becoming what we dreamed it would become,\u201d says Bucio. \u201cA place that students from all across the city and even the world want to come to and share in the experience of living, learning, and thriving together under one roof.\u201d<\/p>\n
