How are roommates selected?
Roommates are first assigned based on requests from the residents. If a student has no roommate preference, the Community and Residential Development staff will do their best to aid him/her in finding a compatible roommate. However, the responsibility of finding a roommate ultimately resides with the student seeking housing.

How many roommates will I have?
The Office of Community and Residential Development has a maximum and minimum number of occupants allowed in each apartment. Please contact us for more information.

How can I decorate my room?
You may decorate your room in any way you like as long as your decorations conform to Community Life Standards and housing guidelines and do not damage any part of the apartment. Nails or anything else that damages the walls are not allowed.
