Room Selection
Our housing selection process for 2025-2026 is live
You'll have to fill out a housing application each year that you choose to live on campus, and we recommend a yearly review of our Terms & Conditions.
New students
After you've paid your housing prepayment, you'll be notified by email when you have access to the Student Housing Information Portal, where you’ll be able to view housing options, select a roommate, and even choose your room. Learn more about important housing dates for new students.
