Additional Housing Options
We have several optional housing communities for students who complete the 2024 Room Selection housing contract (including submitting the $450 prepayment) for the 2024-25 academic year.

The LLCs are each characterized by housing within the same residence location, shared co-curricular experiences, access to resources, and engaging in activities that reinforce common affinities such as aspects of culture.
