Applications submitted after the May 1 deadline will not be eligible for the first-year guarantee and will be added to our waitlist.

When you apply, you will be able to rank five preferences for housing type (including selecting a room type and a community).

First-year students are eligible to select dormitory housing (single and double rooms) and selected LLC communities that are in pod-style housing only.

Please be advised that we try our best to accommodate room preferences whenever possible, however requests for a particular room type are not guaranteed.

If you are interested in a living learning community - a residence where you'll live with students who share your interests, you must submit a supplemental application (as part of the residence application process). Applicants will be selected based on the quality of their answers, including examples of:

• experience and genuine interest in the theme
• ability to actively contribute to the theme and their community

Living learning community applications are evaluated by the LLC committee and will be ranked according to the quality of answers to the supplemental question. Room offers to the living learning communities are based on these rankings, as well as the housing application submission date.

We look forward to reading your application and welcoming you to one of our many fantastic communities!
