off-campus housing provides students with a variety of options for living near the campus. Students are able to view apartments and decide which one they would like to live in based on their needs. The International Student Affairs office will assist you with this process. Most students are placed in an apartment within two days of their arrival. rental contracts Be certain that you understand all the terms of the lease. Once the lease is signed, you are legally responsible. A lease is strictly between the student and the landlord or rental agency. The University will not be involved in the signing of a contract or a lease. All lease agreements are a minimum of one year. furniture Some apartments are furnished, but most of them will have to be furnished by the student. Before purchasing furniture, consider how long you will need it and what you will do with it when you leave. Used furniture outlets are also located near the school. utilities Most landlords ask that you pay for your own utilities which usually include heat, electricity, telephone and cable. Sometimes arrangements can be made for a landlord to include one of these utilities in the rental price. prices range from $500 per month to $1300 per month depending
on location, services, and how many students will share the apartment. Private homes are also available at $1000 and up, per month, no utilities. Private homes or single-family homes are limited. on-campus housing Reservations are required and the travel request form must be returned (please check the deadline date for you to submit your travel request form). Placement in a residence hall is based on availability and on the date you submit your reservation deposit and housing contract. Students who want to live on-campus in the residence hall must arrive no earlier than and no later than two days prior to registration. room assignments Placement in a particular residence hall is based on availability and on the date you submit your reservation deposit and housing contract for on-campus housing. Priority will be given to freshmen and unmarried students under the age of 23. choice of roommate(s) There are no single room accommodations available for students. You will be sharing a room and a bathroom, with at least one other student. Choice of accommodation (double, triple, or quad) is based on availability. housing contract requires you to pay for room and board charges until the end of May (end of the academic year). If you start in the fall (September) or in the winter (December), you are strongly encouraged to sign the international student release form which allows international students the option of leaving the residence hall at the end of their first term. The forms are available at the International office only and must be signed and submitted prior to moving into your residence hall room. If you choose to leave the residence hall after the first term, you must notify the director of student housing and residence director in writing. You must pay the full amount for one term no matter when you move out during the term.
