Accommodation details

Living on campus is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy University life at its fullest. It opens a world of interaction with other students, faculty, and staff members in many social and academic activities. The seven buildings that comprise the current Apartment Area are the oldest residential facilities at the University. Originally a 29-building complex, these were financed by the first government insured loan to a private university for campus housing. The original intent for these facilities was to house married veterans and their families. The apartment area was completed in 1948, along with the creation of Lake Osceola. In early years, the apartments consisted of mostly men. The Apartment Area houses both male and female upperclassmen students. The Apartment Area is located on the east side of campus between Stanford Drive and Dickinson Drive near the Metro-Rail station and the Wellness Center. Apartment Area residents may stay on campus during the Intersession period in December and early January. The housing services include: Cable TV, Carts and Vacuums, Housekeeping, Internet Connectivity, Laundry, Mail and Packages, Maintenance, Reception Desk, Telephone - Local Calling, Telephone - Long Distance, Vending.
