Housing

Selection

Your choice of a place to live is one of the most important decisions you will make during your collegiate career. We encourage you to consider living in an on-campus facility for your first year at the university. There are several advantages to choosing either the Residence Halls (dorms) or the University Village as your living quarters. First, you will be living on the university campus, which will eliminate the problem of commuting to school. Secondly, you will be able to meet and interact with students from the United States, as well as from many other countries. This experience is valuable as you will make lasting friendships and gain important insights into campus life.

Residence Halls

he Residence Halls are co-ed and non-smoking. All rooms are double occupancy, and all rooms have Ethernet connections. Each hall has a laundry room, study areas, recreation room/TV lounge, mailboxes and community kitchenettes. Residence Hall students are required to choose a meal plan, which includes a 19-, 14- or a 10-meal plan per week. The Residence Halls also offer Fitness Express (a health club) and Java the Hut (a coffee house and cyber café).

It is recommended that you send in your application as early as possible since the Residence Halls fill rapidly. For more information, please contact:

University Village

The University Village is an apartment complex for students only. It is within walking and bicycling distance of the campus. To qualify for the Village, students must have completed 36-quarter units of instruction, or they must be at least 21 years of age. The apartments are designed to house 4 students per unit, and they contain either furnished double or single bedrooms. Each unit has a common kitchen and a living room. There are no meal plans available at the Village, so students do their own cooking in their apartments. The Village offers residents laundry facilities, a computer room, computer access, a swimming pool, a basketball court, and a sand volleyball court.

Again, it is highly advisable that you send in your application as early as possible. For more information, please contact:

Applications

It is your responsibility to mail in the proper written applications and the deposits for either the Village or the Residence Halls before you arrive. You should telephone to confirm that a room is being reserved for you at least one week prior to your arrival. Be aware that most students sign a one-year contract. Also, students cannot move into their rooms until the Sunday before school starts, so you should plan to stay somewhere else until that time. Please check with the Village or the Residence Halls for the exact move-in date for each quarter.

Off-campus housing

Apartments and rooms for rent are listed in the local newspaper (The Daily Bulletin). The University Housing Office, (Bldg. 59, x3307) also has a bulletin board devoted to requests for roommates and advertisements of rooms for rent. Keep in mind that apartments are usually unfurnished and at a distance from the campus. If you choose this housing option, you will need to find transportation to and from school.
