As an incoming student, all you need to do is complete our housing application and build your unique roommate-matching profile. We want to know your preferences, interests, and what makes you the awesome individual you are.
Our dedicated team will take your profile into careful consideration. While housing is allocated based on the roommate matching process, our aim is to create a supportive and inclusive community that celebrates your individuality and fosters lifelong friendships.
First-year students are housed in Woodson Residence Hall and Spencer Residence Hall. They feature double and triple rooms with community-style bathrooms.
All of our residence halls feature a kitchen, laundry room (with free laundry!), and lounge.
