Roommates - President Park
Individual applicants may preference an assignment in a full apartment (one-, two-, or three-bedroom) or may preference to be assigned to one bedroom of a two- or three-bedroom apartment as a part a roommate plan. Applicants desiring the roommate plan do not have to secure a roommate on their own but will be assigned a roommate by the Office of Residence Life and Housing. Only individual students are eligible for the roommate plan. Roommate assignments will always be same-gender.

Couples or families may request to share an apartment with another couple or family but this will only be approved if it is a mutual request and there is mutual consent. If at any time one couple or family moves out, the remaining couple or family will be required to assume the full Lease. Under no circumstances will the Office of Residence Life and Housing take the responsibility of assigning the second/third bedroom.
