Standard Living Options

Standard double-occupancy rooms are in every residence hall except Van Zile Halls.

Suite Living Options

Suites offer amenities such as private or shared bathrooms and carpet. The occupancy rate of a suite is determined by the number of residents who share the bathroom (except in Boyd and Putnam cluster suites, where four rooms share two bathrooms). In these cluster suites, the number of residents in the room determines the occupancy rate. Suite options are for one to four occupants sharing a bathroom. There is an additional charge assessed for living in a suite. The rates per person per semester are $494.00 (four-person suite), $655.00 (three-person suite), $820.00 (two-person suite) and $981.00 (one-person suite). Due to fire safety requirements, federal law does not allow bathroom doors of a suite sharing a bathroom to be locked from inside each resident's room. Moore Hall does not have suites.

Cluster Floors

Cluster floors provide convenience for students to study together and facilitate specialized programming. Halls with cluster floors available are:

Quiet Floors

Each residence hall in the Derby and Kramer Complexes has a quiet floor. These floors create a supportive environment for students who want a space more conducive to studying. The quiet floors available are in: Ford, Haymaker, Moore, West, Goodnow and Marlatt.

Putnam R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Program

Program Putnam R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Program (Residents Encouraging: Study, Peaceful Environment, and Community Thinking) makes Putnam more than a quiet hall. Basic guidelines for residents include:

  1. Organizing and participating in programs and activities
  2. Maintaining a quiet living/learning environment and
  3. Respecting each other and all physical facilities.

A special contractual agreement signed at check-in is required for all Putnam residents. For more information, contact the Putnam Assistant Residence Life Coordinator at 395-6669.

Continuous Housing Option

A continuous housing option is available ONLY in Moore, Haymaker, West and Marlatt for an additional cost. For most students the residence hall academic year contract is sufficient; but there are some students who remain in Manhattan during scheduled university breaks and need continuous housing. A student signing a continuous housing contract is allowed to stay in their assigned room in Moore, Haymaker, West or Marlatt during scheduled university breaks and has access to their front desk, equipment and Moore's student store. Vacation housing is ONLY available to a student choosing this option. Meals are not served during university breaks. All other halls are closed during university breaks. A separate continuous housing contract is required if you choose this option.

Agreements are signed for an 11-month period, with the option for renewal if continuing as a student.
