2023-2024 Academic Year Contract (August-May)
Almost every student who stays with us is on our nine-month contract that begins in August and lasts until May. Offered for your convenience, this contract perfectly matches our academic
year, allowing students to move in before classes start and stay until their finals are over!
What You’ll Pay:
Rent:
To ensure students can apply their Financial Aid toward their Housing bill as needed, rent is charged at the beginning of each semester. Your rental rate is dependent on your room cost. For your convenience, we have also included
a “Rent per Month Comparison,” as many people appreciate comparing our price to monthly bills.
| Apartment Type | Application Fee | Room Reservation | Rent per Semester | Rent per Month version* | Activity Fee Semester | Total Housing Cost for 2022-2023 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 bedroom | $75.00 | $100.00 | $4,065.00 | $903.00 | $25.00 | $8,330.00 |
| 2 bedroom | $75.00 | $100.00 | $3,380.00 | $751.11 | $25.00 | $7,960.00 |
| 4 bedroom | $75.00 | $100.00 | $2,650.00 | $588.88 | $25.00 | $5,500.00 |
*All students who live on-campus during the Academic Year are required to have a meal plan. For more information about meal plans, please visit the Dining Services Website.
Unlike some apartment complexes, our rent includes utilities and other costs, meaning there are no monthly charges for electricity, water, sewage, trash, laundry, and Internet; it’s free! All normal wear and tear maintenance is provided by our department as well. Does the smoke detector need batteries? Is the lightbulb burnt out? Don’t buy a new one! Just submit a maintenance request, and we will replace it for you.
This is the complete price to live on campus for the 2023-2024 Academic Year. If residents are respectful of their facilities and responsible for their belongings, no additional charges will be accrued. For information regarding Housing fines, please take a look at the Community Guide under the Current Residents tab!
