short contracts

Portia · Post by **Portia** » Mon May 05, 2008 11:31 am

Well. I am leaving Provo permanently in December, and will not want to deal with the hassle of selling a contract being far away. I have heard rumors that on-campus housing (Wyview would be preferred at this point in my BYU career) is usually reasonable about letting you out of your contract if you're graduating and/or going on a mission. Any other places that operate on a semester-, not a year-long, basis?

Wyview has upperclassman reserved housing, so it's not all just freshmen. And on-housing is VERY accommodating. I had a friend who lived in the dorms with me who was released from his contract in mid-March so that he could go on a mission; if they're willing to let you out in the middle of the month, they're probably willing to let you out at the end of a semester.

Does that mean you are leaving the Board Portia?

Oh, I also thought of the FLSR, but isn't that quite expensive?

Did those of you who stayed in the FLSR enjoy it?

Mr. Nanti: Yeah, I probably will right around Christmastime, give or take. Judging by the frequency of my posts, though, you have plenty more of my answers to come. ;)

So you won't pull a Katya and write long distance from the Board? Sadness. You will be greatly missed.

To answer my own question, it looks like it's abt. $400 a month . . . so yeah, on the expensive side for sure.

Well, thanks. Since I am quite sure that this "long-distance" will involve a mission, yeah, probably not happening.

Unless, y'know, my mission president is okay with that . . . it's a worthy cause, right?

Oh. Understood. Have you turned in your papers or have you received your call yet? Will you tell us when you do?

Man, such premature mourning! No, my birthday's in January, so I couldn't turn my papers in until October, but that is definitely what I am planning for.

And I have a bad habit of accidentally editing people's posts when I mean to quote them (the button is the same size!), which requires un-editing, so if parts of your posts are gone (something about a victory dance?), I apologize; feel free to re-post.

Nah, the dance has been spoiled, to try and initiate such humor again as small victory dances from 50 First Dates would be futile. So I'll leave it at that.

You changed my name? Nice!!! I approve! 100 kick butt awesome points to you!!!

Portia · Post by **Portia** » Mon May 05, 2008 12:24 pm

Sweet. I'm accruing awesome points left and right.

So. Back to the original questions . . . any other semester-based, or month-based, BYU-approved places?

For those of you that lived in the FLSR, was it worth the money?

Nanti-SARRMM · Post by **Nanti-SARRMM** » Mon May 05, 2008 12:27 pm

I know WestWood (5th W, 940 N) allows for semester contracts. It is a cheap(It was $225/month + $15 in amenities) place but small, but it may work for you.

I don't know about semester based places but you can look here and here to see comparative rent costs.

Can I get points for being the one to point out that Nanti-SARRMM's name needed the extra "n"?
