Accommodation details

Housing: The on-campus apartments are the oldest residence 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. Today 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 following are the Meal Plan rates for the 2008 - 2009 academic year.
