A student that moves from their original room assignment into a room that is less or more expensive will be charged a pro-rated amount for their room rent based on the number of weeks they live in each room. The Office of Residence Life and Housing will determine this amount and forward the cost to the student at the time the room change occurs. Any student that leaves the University is liable for the entire room rent until they have officially checked out of their building with their hall staff and have returned their keys. Refunds of room rent are granted based only on the guidelines listed in the Housing Agreement . Loss of assignment for failure to pay this deposit does not release students from their Housing Agreement.
Many students come to campus having never shared a room with someone else.
Being a good roommate and enjoying living with a roommate will depend upon the ability to listen , to communicate , and to compromise . The best roommates are students who make each other feel comfortable when they are together, share common interests, yet have lives of their own. The Office of Residence Life and Housing provides a Roommate Locator Service in the spring of each year prior to the Fall Room Selection process. All students interested in this service complete short profile forms, which are then made available to all participants. Students may then contact any student profiled who interests them as a roommate for the following year.
