When Butler Community College (BC3) student, Alexis Krug of St. Marys started her education as a physical therapist assistant, she found the least expensive way to stay near the community college in Butler and return home on weekends to her job was to stay in a camper nearby the college.
Krug started school at BC3 in the fall of 2021 and started living in the camper when she found that rent for an apartment in Butler would cost anywhere from $800 to $1,000, which she said just wasn’t doable.
