On-campus housing space is assigned based on the date that the student application and deposit are received. Since there is not enough space to house all students who wish to live on campus, the student must apply as soon as possible. If the student do not apply before the student arrive, there is no promise that on-campus housing will be available for the student. 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 the student.
