‘At this point, we’ll take anything:’ College students camp out for housingAfter standing in 40-degree weather for more than three hours, hoping to sign a lease for a first-come, first-served apartment, Janessa Keenan wasn’t going to be picky.The UW-Madison sophomore, along with her roommates Lilah Dottori and Taylor Tagliavia, were among dozens of people who stood outside J. Michael Real Estate just before 11 a.m. Friday to secure housing for the 2023-24 school year. People started camping out at 10 a.m. Thursday to snag a lease when the landlord company opened at 9 a.m. Friday, the first day lease applications for next school year were accepted, NBC 15 first reported.The trio lives in the Lucky Apartments and pays $700 a person to share a room; that same room would cost each of them an additional $50 next year, Tagliavia said. With J. Michael’s properties, they were hoping to get something that allowed them to have their own space.“At this point, we’ll take anything,” Keenan said as she warmed her hands in an oversized sweatshirt. “We really just need housing.”It’s typical for student-housing landlords to open their leases starting in the fall for the following year.
