Housing

How Housing is Assigned

Students are divided into resident cell groups.  Each cell group of 6–10 students lives on the same floor, with a minimum of two students per bedroom.  Cell groups are supervised by a mentor, who also lives with the students in the dorms.

When housing assignments are made, the Housing Coordinator takes into consideration the Roommate Questionnaires, requests from students, and the make-up of cell groups.  Roommate and dorm room assignments are finalized approximately two weeks prior to orientation arrival day.

Bedrooms

Bedrooms generally have twin-sized bunk or loft beds; some will have standard twin beds.  Married student housing has queen-sized beds.  Bedrooms generally come with one desk, chair, and bookcase per person, and one large 6-drawer dresser for every two people.  In some rooms, students are asked to share a desk due to being in smaller quarters.  Every bedroom has a closet.

Children are provided with twin beds and dressers, and when possible desks, chairs, and bookcases.

We do not provide extra-long mattresses, toddler beds, or cribs.
