How to Apply & Requirements

Application Deadlines

Early Application Deadline:  December 3, 2023

Reviewing application on a rolling basis until late May or all spots have been filled.

NOTE: At this point, your name is likely to be added to the waitlist for the academic year 2024-25. However, we still encourage you to submit your application as we do expect some movement on the roster. In addition, we will be happy to reach out to you in case any spaces become available within the house during the academic year (in cases where current residents leave for academic study abroad or graduate). We look forward to reading your application!

A separate application to University Housing is required to secure a room in North Quad. Please visit the Housing website for more information. Click here for information on current Housing Rates.
