“I’m thinking next year we’ll probably have enough — more than enough — upperclass students who want to live there that it would push the freshmen out,” Annis said. "It gives you a chance to really create a new community, and there’s no real pre-existing history, so that’s something you get to make up for yourself." Despite being the largest incoming freshman class in the history of the university, the class of 2021’s global community would have fit into the previous location in the freshman residence halls, Annis said. However, moving the community to the Residential Colleges would provide a better experience to those involved, he said.

Provident Oklahoma, as an Oklahoma nonprofit, then applied for in excess of $200 million in government bonds to construct the Cross Village building and parking garage. Provident Resources Group, Inc. — a national nonprofit which works in development, ownership and operation of educational and housing facilities and services, according to its website — is the parent company of Provident Oklahoma. Keith Gaddie, senior fellow at Headington College, said most international students are older than the average OU freshman and therefore mature enough to ease into the upperclassman living arrangement. Older apartment complexes in Norman have also felt the strain of this housing surplus.

A tornado in suburban Omaha, Nebraska, demolished homes and businesses Saturday as it moved for miles through farmland and into subdivisions, then slammed an Iowa town. In Holdenville, houses were demolished and road signs were bent to the ground in the community roughly 80 miles (129 kilometers) from Oklahoma City. The sound of chainsaws could be heard in the distance as workers began tackling the damage. Dozens of reported tornadoes have wreaked havoc in the nation's midsection since Friday, with flood watches and warnings in effect Sunday for Oklahoma and other states - including Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. Hicks said the reason the lease price was negotiated and agreed to was because OU received a $20 million upfront payment, and the lease amounts were necessary to secure adequate bond financing.

In April, the Residential Colleges were at 50 percent occupancy. OU offered special incentives, such as cheaper meal plans and other gifts, throughout the spring to attract more students. Now, the colleges are at 92 percent occupancy, with 571 of the 618 beds filled, Annis said. The earlier you start searching for houses and apartments near OU campus, the more options you’ll have to choose from. In Sulphur, authorities reported unspecified injuries along with significant destruction as the tornado began in a city park before tearing through Sulphur's downtown area. Search and rescue operations were underway, according to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
“They’ve had a multi-year boarding school experience, often in a country other than their own. They also have an additional year, sort of a 13th year like you get in Canada, of preparatory education before they came here,” Gaddie said. Callaway House, a new option uncommonly close to campus for a luxury apartment complex, began aggressively advertising alongside the Residential Colleges during the last year. The perfect space to entertain and socialize when you want — and plenty of privacy when you don't.

According to the OU Housing and Food website, a one-bed, one-bath suite in Cross costs $1,444 per month; a two-bed, one-bath suite costs $1,333 per month; and a four-bed, two-bath suite costs $833 per month. All prices are per person, and all OU academic year housing contracts last only for the academic year. The $6.8 million amounts to more than double the market rate for commercial space, according to the notice, and almost 10 times the market rate for parking spaces. Former OU president James Gallogly said in September that the university was losing over $7.1 million per year on the Cross Village project. The document includes the university’s termination notice for the commercial and parking lease, which was sent to Provident on July 26.
In Dunham or Headington College, a one-bed, one-bath residence costs $1,373 per month, according to the site.

Tornadoes kill 4 in Oklahoma as governor issues state of emergency for 12 counties VIDEO
Cross also had low occupancy upon opening — The Oklahoman reported in August 2018 that Cross was at 28 percent occupancy. The president of the nonprofit partner contracted by OU to help build Cross Village said the problems with the retail-residence complex can be linked to the university’s decision not to house freshmen there. Some upperclassmen living in the Residential Colleges were unaware freshmen lived in the housing development, while others knew of many first-year students in their midst. Norman-based realtor Brian Eddins said he believes this surplus stems from an overdevelopment of rental apartments in the area, which has decreased demand for traditional rental houses. "Miraculous" she said, stressing that none of the city's injuries were serious. Residents in other states were also digging out from storm damage.
The tornado damage started Friday afternoon near Lincoln, Nebraska. An industrial building in Lancaster County was hit, causing it to collapse with 70 people inside. Several were trapped, but everyone was evacuated, and the three injuries were not life-threatening, authorities said. He issued an executive order Sunday declaring a state of emergency in 12 counties due to the fallout from the severe weather as crews worked to clear debris and assess damage from the severe storms that downed power lines.
HOLDENVILLE, Okla. (AP) - Tornadoes that tore across Oklahoma left a wide trail of destruction Sunday, leveling homes and buildings and knocking out power for tens of thousands of residents. Cross offers one-, two- and four-bedroom luxury suites, according to OU’s website, as well as amenities including a gym, rehearsal spaces, theater and performance venues, coffee shops, dining options and retail shops. Cross suites are among the highest-priced on-campus OU housing options.
Later in the day, he planned to tour the southern Oklahoma city of Sulphur, where some buildings were reduced to piles of rubble.
