Frequently Asked Questions

When will I receive my housing assignment?

First year students will select their housing assignment during the month of June.  Students must complete their housing application by June 1 in order to participate in the selection process.

What is furnished in my room?

All rooms are furnished with a bed & mattress, desk & chair, and dresser. Each room is equipped with wireless internet.

Will I be in a double room or triple room?

The majority of first year students will be able to select a double room.  During the room selection process, priority for double rooms will be given to students who submit their enrollment deposit earliest, so we encourage you to deposit early.  Students may elect to live in a triple room and bypass the room selection process.  If you choose a triple space, you will receive a discount on your housing cost.  More information about how to select a triple room will be sent by the Residence Life Office just prior to the start of the room selection process.

Can I request a different assignment prior to move-in?

Unfortunately, we are unable to make assignment changes prior to move-in. If a student would like to request a room change, they may contact our Residence Life staff after Welcome Week to discuss their situation. Room changes will be made on a case-by-case basis and only as open space allows.

Can I see my room before move-in?

Due to summer camp occupancy, we cannot show individual rooms during the summer or prior to move-in weekend.

How can I get more information about my assigned room, its features, and dimensions?

You may visit the Housing sections of the Residence Life web page to view detailed information about each residence hall. If you have additional questions, please contact the Residence Life Office.

All residential students are given the unlimited meal plan by default.  If you would like to change your meal plan, you can do that on the Housing Portal by clicking on the Meal Plan Selection link.  Students have until the second day of classes each semester to choose or change their meal plan. After that date, meal plans are locked in for the semester.
