On-Campus Housing
Registration for on-campus housing has reached capacity and is closed. If you requested a room while registering for Alumni Weekend 2025, you will receive a housing confirmation email in May. Residence hall assignments and room numbers will not be available until check-in. We make every effort to house classes together, but we are unable to guarantee you will all stay in the same residence hall.
As a reminder, on-campus housing is limited to basic dorm rooms, which have only the bare essentials: two sheets, one pillow and pillowcase, one blanket and two towels. Bathrooms are communal, and rooms with private baths are not available. Please note that most dorms do not have air conditioning.
