Living on Campus - Housing and Meal Plan
No, but living on campus is the safest and most convenient option, and it allows for
language immersion and involvement in campus activities but it is not mandatory. For
more information on campus housing, please visit the Campus Residences website. PLEASE NOTE: Once students have checked into campus housing, they will be
responsible to pay for the full semester housing fee even if they decide to move off
campus before the semester ends. The IEC does not assist in finding off campus accommodations
for students. Please visit the Off Campus Housing website for more information.
All conditional students will be assigned a room in the undergraduate residence halls.
All other students will be assigned rooms wherever there is space. Please check out
the Campus Residences website for more information.
New students are assigned to rooms based on availability so they cannot choose roommates. Continuing students can participate in room selection and can request
a particular roommate. The Office of Campus Residences is responsible for the assignments
and they make every effort to assign roommates who speak a different native language
in the double rooms. Please check out the Campus Residences website for more information.
Some of the residence halls have cooking facilities, some do not. Those with kitchens
can be used by students to cook, but pots, pans, and other kitchen accessories are
not provided. Please check out the Campus Residences website for more information.
If you are assigned a room in a non-cooking residence hall, the meal plan is mandatory
and it is automatically charged to your student account. You have the option to change
the amount of the meal plan in the beginning of the semester. You can also buy a meal
plan even if you live in a residence hall that does not require it, such as the West
Apartments. Please go to the Campus Dining website for more information.
Every residence hall has a wireless network available for student use. The wireless
network is available from every student room. Each student has to register their device(s)
to access either the wireless or wired networks.
Campus Residences has a very helpful page on their website for everything from check-in information to a packing list. You can access the page using the link HERE.
