Laurence Favrot Mansion At 2201 Mimosa Dr.

[Jax]

There's currently one residential building on the TMC campus (Laurence H. Favrot Tower) which is only available to doctors and students. I know a lot of people who live/lived there. It's kind of old and not such a great place (besides the location),and I think it would be great if there were more places like that for international students and visiting doctors / interns / residents in the hospitals/universities.

A lot of people move there because they don't know Houston, don't have a car, and basically want the convenience of living on campus. Despite being old and out of date, the occupancy rates have to be extremely high. If there was a more modern apartment building on campus for TMC people, it would be extremely popular. And it would give visiting doctors/students/interns/residents a better impression of the TMC.
