The problem: hundreds of ucf students who live at Knights Circle are now stuck with an apartment they don't want, and aren't using.



Most of us students have travelled out of town to be with our families, and to work from home as COVID-19 has become a big issue. Knights Circle, as with UCF, knows that the right thing to do is offer partial refunds to the students who do not need their apartment anymore. With classes being able to be accessed from nearly anywhere, paying for an apartment next to campus makes no sense. KC issued a statement saying they would give refunds if students moved out AND they were able to re-rent the apartment. This means that a tenant could move out in April 1st, but pay for the next 3 months and not have access to their apartment. This is a shady move by Knights Circle to make it seem like they are helping the students out, but in reality nothing has changed.

UCF has already issued a statement about allowing partial refunds for students. They are additionally advocating for other near campus communities to do the same. Join me in calling Knights Circle out on their decision to choose money over their students, and urge them to do what we all know is the right thing to do.
