questions

How do you apply for an apartment?
Fill out and submit your application, your guarantor’s application, and your roommate preferences form.
Do I have to be a student to live here?

What is an individual lease?
An individual lease is a per-bed lease. You sign a lease for a bed in the apartment and share common areas with roommates. This allows you to live with roommates without having to worry about whether they’re going to pay on time.
When is the leasing office open?

Is there a security deposit?

What is the process to match roommates?
If you’re looking for a roommate, fill out our roommate-matching questionnaire when you sign your lease. We will use that information to match you and your future roommate. If you already have a roommate selected, we can help sort out the details with that, too!
