Housing with you in mind
Freshmen are typically assigned to the Pierson Center.

Upperclassmen have more options and may choose from those hall already mentioned as well as Yergens-Roger's Hall.

To guarantee housing, you must pay a $350 housing deposit by May 1. If your deposit is paid after May 1, you will be assigned a room based on availability. Pay your deposit online now.
How are roommates assigned?
Read answer
If a specific roommate is not requested, the residence life office assigns a roommate using personal background information furnished on the housing application. Initial requests for specific roommates are honored if the deposits and applications are made prior to May 1, and both applicants make written requests for each other as roommates.
Room assignments are made in late May, and information on the assignments will be sent out in June. Assignments to campus housing are made based on the date of application and availability of space. The university reserves the right to make changes in the room assignments when it is in the best interests of the residents and/or the university.
All residence hall facilities, including personal rooms, are non-smoking.
Can I have a car on campus?
Read answer
Yes, you are allowed to have a car on campus. However, you must register your vehicle and display your permit. You can register your vehicle online, and the permit fee will be added to your account.
Students who live in campus housing must park in specifically designated lots for dorm residents. Commuting students also must register their vehicles and can park in lots not designated for dorm residents.
