Campus housing will have a Significant Impact on future student veterans like myself who will be proud and thankful to have usf to come to after service. Thank you. Hi, thank you for having me here today. My name is eva long and i am a junior attending the university of San Francisco majoring in politics and minoring in public service. I am a First Generation College student from honolulu, hawaii i am also a pell grant recipient who highly depends on Financial Aid to go to usf and i am very fortunate to attend a university that cares about academic success and individual growth inside and outside of the classroom. Not only myself, but 30 of usf population depends on the pell grant as well. I support the building of a New Residence hall because i understand the need of it on campus. I was on campus for two years and has not only been convenient for dining and studying purposes, but it offered a space as well as able to get involved in different campus clubs and organizations.

Getting involved on campus. There are two large reasons why i support the building of a New Residence hall. One, i had no choice but to move off campus my third year at usf. It is difficult finding an apartment because it is a competitive area to search for housing.

Student from honolulu, hawaii i am also a pell grant recipient who highly depends on Financial Aid to go to usf and i am very fortunate to attend a university that cares about academic success and individual growth inside and outside of the classroom.

I was on campus for two years and has not only been convenient for dining and studying purposes, but it offered a space as well as able to get involved in different campus clubs and organizations.

If it werent for the various clubs im involved in today, it wouldnt have shaped me to be the student leader i am today. I am very lucky enough to have found an apartment fairly close to school after an extensive fourmonth search.

We met with walgreens and had several meetings with them and captain gart ee asked me to relate that hes in full support of this application and hes in favor. They were issued a Liquor License back in 1959 and that Liquor License was surrended in 2004. They have had a Liquor License for many many years and we have not any significant problems with their Liquor License when they had it back then. So thats all i have. Thank you.

That being said we do not have that city policy and from my perspective its important to treat our activity with drug stores consistently as i have said,
