Housing Eligibility

Do I have to be a full time student to live on campus?
Yes. Any student living on campus must either maintain 12 credit hours or be enrolled full-time in our English Language Learning Institute.

How much will it cost me to live on campus?
Costs of living differ depending on the type of room and the meal plan that you choose.  Typically, students should budget around $5,000 per semester for room and board.  You can find detailed information regarding housing and meal plan and cost of attendance costs here.

Will I be guaranteed housing?
Monroe College guarantees housing to students who submit their application and housing application fee before our Housing Application deadline of August 1st.  After this deadline, students are placed in any remaining rooms.  We usually have a limited amount of rooms available as late as August.  The earlier your application is received, the better your chances are of receiving a housing assignment.  

Do you have graduate student housing?
While we do not currently have separate housing for graduate students, graduate students may utilize any of our housing options. Please note that we do not have family housing available, and that all residents must be enrolled students in order to live on campus

Finding a Roommate

How will you choose my roommate(s)?
The housing application includes a number of lifestyle questions to help us match you with a compatible roommate(s). Questions about your preferred bedtime, study habits and more will help us determine good matches.

Can I request a particular roommate(s)?
Yes.  Although we can’t guarantee that every request will be fulfilled, we will make every effort to honor your preference, depending on the availability of open rooms.  To request a particular roommate, please include your preferred roommate's name and ID number in your housing application. The earlier you apply, the better your chances are of receiving your requested roommate(s)
