This makes it very difficult for new international students to receive on-campus housing their first year. Even if you cannot get in your first term, you may want to explore this relatively inexpensive and convenient option. Rooms in residence halls are usually shared by one or two people.
All residence halls have lounges, recreation rooms, study areas, and laundry facilities.
Apartments are available both on campus and in Alumni Village, a housing area a mile from campus. If you choose to rent an apartment, you will be asked to sign a lease. Leases are legal contracts, so be sure to read and understand the lease before signing. Do not hesitate to ask the landlord questions. The office also has information about apartments and houses for rent and a list of people looking for roommates.
