Incoming students are required to fill out a Housing Application available through the StarRez Housing Portal. This application includes the housing contract, housing preferences, and roommate questionnaire. We have found that roommates have a greater rate of success and a broader experience when they are matched together using information from our Housing Application. We try to offer opportunities for residents to make connections with a wide variety of their peers with differing academic interests, athletic teams, hometowns and life experiences. Please fill out the Housing Application regarding your own expectations and interests. Incoming students are also welcome to request a roommate.
Roommates
Traditional first year housing includes single rooms, double rooms, triple rooms, and quad rooms. Therefore, some students may have up to three roommates. Our staff works with all students to facilitate and encourage conversations on how to live together and set room expectations.
