One big thing would be having a small garden where they could play. My apartment is wonderful for just myself (location + size), but with all the beautiful tile work, I can't imagine having kids running around, yelping and fighting, and having the constant noise echoing off the walls... not only for me, but my poor neighbors.
Also, the villa would feel more like a home, I imagine. If I recall, are you coming from a house now? At least the adjustment wouldn't be so much for the fam.
The general pattern at Cornell is that the single people or married couples are shown apartments, the families get shown villas. In briefly finding out where people live, that's the pattern I've identified, anyway. I imagine the other schools do the same.
Sorry, I'm probably getting you mixed up with someone else... Gah.
Mmm... if I recall, you had kids?
