Make the most of this adventure.

Student housing comes with its perks—like a furnished apartment and easy access to campus events—but there are a few more details you need to know. Here, you’ll find the information you need about roommates, guests, payments, and more.

apartment details

Your new home.

Though student housing apartments are furnished, you will need to bring all the extras, such as linens, cooking supplies, and toiletries. You’ll find a complete list of suggested items in your room-assignment packet.

Each bedroom includes a dresser, an extra-long full-size bed (most students use queen-size sheets), a desk, a desk chair, and a nightstand. The living room includes an entertainment center, a coffee table, and an end table.

Roommates

Sharing your space.

You can match with and choose a roommate using the student housing portal. During the application process, we gather information to suggest best matches for all residents. Within the portal, you can also search for a roommate by name (so you and your BFF can live together) or by lifestyle questions (so if you’re a night owl you won’t clash with a morning bird). Once matches are selected, you will be provided with contact information for your new roommate, or you can send them a message within the housing portal.

Within the first 10 days of moving in together, you’ll need to submit a roommate agreement. If problems should arise, we have a well-established mediation process for roommates that is 90 percent effective in resolving conflict. Through peer-to-peer resolution methods, mediation can assist with moving forward and making living situations successful.

Living Learning Communities

Live with like-minded students.

Support from the Herd shows up in many ways in (and out of) the classroom. So why not take advantage of living with (and near) that support? With these communities, you can always have your fellow Dons by your side.
