Lakeside Commons offers SUNY Oswego students new luxury apartments
By Amada Caba
OSWEGO, N.Y.– Family and friends weekend gave a new luxury apartment community the chance to find future residents. Students, their families, and friends enjoyed activities, prizes and food at the Lakeside Commons first open house.
The open house included tours of the clubhouse which will be the 24 hour central hub of the community. The clubhouse includes a fireplace lounge and a fitness center on the first floor. On the second floor students can use the game room with a large screen TV, arcade games, table tennis, and shuffleboard. Directly across from the game room is the genius lab which is a study center with computers, free printing, and private study and conference rooms.
Although the 84 units are not completed, a model unit was available to look at. All apartments will have a fully furnished living room and modern kitchens. Unlike other housing options, students who live in the Lakeside Commons will have their own private bathroom. The apartments feature two, four or six rooms and range between $810-$855 per room depending on size and add-ons. For example, students would have to pay an additional ten dollars a month if they want a bathroom with a tub instead of a stand in shower.
“We should be done with construction by next June or July,” said leasing manager Caulin Price. “I’m very excited, it’s good to get things under way here.”
Their guaranteed move in date is August 25, 2018.
Anyone looking for tours, more information, or interested in leasing can contact their office at (315)-947-0095 or email lakeside@ndgliving.com. -

Fashion Week
by Ilyssa Weiner
Oswego, NY- Fashion at Oswego’s first ever Fashion Week kicked off on Apr. 1.
Imani Cruz created Fashion at Oswego in 2014 after realizing there weren’t any fashion organizations on campus. She was influenced by designers in New York City and Paris.
“I kinda took it upon myself to think ‘You know what? It’d be cool if like we went around campus and took photos of people that were dressed really nice,” she said.
“The week is all about taking pride in how you appear and your appearance,” she said. “By creating Oz Fashion Week, we could light up some fire under students to dress nice just for one week.”
The week started with a pop up shop showcasing outfits created by up-and-coming designers from places such as Syracuse and Ithaca.
Rashaad Holley, a grad student at Buffalo State, is the creator of “Vingt Cinq Rashaad” and one of the designers at the pop up shop. His brand comes from a song lyric about not living past 25 years old.
“I take that and revert it into a positive direction and give people like myself inspiration to ascend as opposed to look at a ceiling and be limited,” Holley said.
With the success of the pop up shop, Cruz is very positive about Fashion at Oswego’s future.
