On-campus
housing space is assigned based on the date that your application
and deposit are received. Since there is not enough space to house
all students who wish to live on campus, you must apply as soon as
possible. If you do not apply before you arrive, there is no
promise that on-campus housing will be available for you.
Information
regarding off-campus rooms and apartments is kept in the Housing
Office. Individual students must arrange their own accommodations
with local apartment owners, although the Housing Office will try
to assist you.
