- more single and double rooms
- a more independent living community
- the option to create your own “neighborhood” by selecting adjacent residence hall rooms with a group of friends

Select a residence hall space for 2012-13 and pay the 2011–12 rates! The rate saver option is available to any continuing student and means big savings. Any continuing student who applies during the Priority Housing Application Period and selects a residence hall space will automatically receive the discounted room and meal plan rates.
