Room and Facility Questions

59% of our rooms are traditional, which means they have a community-style bathroom. 21% of our rooms are suite-style and 20% are traditional-private (West/Wefald have shared private-bathrooms). An example of a standard floor plan and breakdown of which styles are available in each building can be viewed in your Resident Portal by clicking the “view floor plans” link under your contract.

Please note that Goodnow Hall and Marlatt Hall have an extremely limited number of suite-style rooms. Only a few floors have one wing of suites, so some of the suite types only have two rooms in that hall. These rooms are also popular with returning students who have already selected rooms for next year, a benefit that first-year students get if they return to the halls for another year(s).

All rooms with three digits have the floor as the first digit. Rooms with two digits are in the lower level/basement.

Yes, there will be rooms. The communities and room types will depend on what students who selected before you chose. Wefald Hall and all of our suite-style rooms are typically the most in-demand room types.

We have approximately 80 2x2 suites. That inventory is then divided by gender.

We have a very limited inventory of one-person suites, and they are typically used for housing accommodations. Our most common single-room option is our traditional double-as-single room available in Goodnow, Marlatt, Haymaker and Moore Halls.

We have a limited number of single-style rooms in the residence halls. The most common option for single rooms is the traditional double-as-single rooms in Haymaker, Moore, Goodnow and Marlatt Halls and traditional private double-as-single rooms in West Hall. The double-as-single rooms are a great option for students who want their own space but still be connected to a community living environment. The halls with the traditional double-as-single rooms are community-style bathrooms with individual shower stalls (with privacy curtains) and toilet stalls shared by the wing. Goodnow, Marlatt, Haymaker and Moore Hall offer this room type.

The traditional-private double-as-single rooms are the rooms that are in our communities with a group of shared pod-style bathrooms that each have a door you lock (like your bathroom at home) that are shared with those that live on the same wing. West Hall is the only hall with this single-room option available. Wefald Hall also has this bathroom style but has fewer single rooms that are typically reserved by our returning students (something you’ll have priority for after your first year!).

No, residents are not restricted to certain halls if they need to stay for break housing (fall break, winter break and spring break). The university will designate certain facilities to operate each break period. A resident may need to temporarily relocate during each break period to another hall or a furnished on-campus apartment for the duration of the break.

Traditional bathrooms: Students who live in traditional rooms share a community bathroom with divided toilet stalls and divided shower stalls with a shower curtain and privacy curtain.

Traditional-private bathrooms: communities with an upgraded group of shared, lockable bathrooms (like your bathroom at home). Each of the 4-5 individual bathrooms have a sink, toilet and shower behind a locked door. These individual bathrooms are shared amongst those that live on that wing.

Each wing has 4-5 bathrooms in each pod.

Most residence hall options are single-sex by wing (2-3 wings per floor that share a lobby/common area). Most halls have one wing male and one wing female or a mix if there are three wings on that floor. In the traditional community-style bathrooms, students would not share the bathroom with those of the opposite sex.

Our traditional-private wings do have co-ed options (residents share 4-5 lockable bathrooms with the opposite sex), the room selection process will indicate that on the specific room. If nothing is listed on the room, it is considered single-sex bathroom use.
