A partment housing RIT' s Apartment Life program is one of the nation's largest university-operated apartment systems, with approximately 3,000 students residing in nearly 1,000 individual townhouse and apartment units. While undergraduate students compose the majority of apartment residents, a mixture of graduate and international students as well as single and married students can be found in each apartment complex. Apartment contracts run from September through August, but residents are permitted to leave for co-op employment and summer without penalty. All apartments are equipped with refrigerator and stove but are otherwise unfurnished, except for University Commons, which is fully furnished. Furniture, however, may be leased from local rental companies.
