Summer On-Campus Housing for Graduate and Extended Campus Programs
µÛÍõ»áËù’s Housing and Residential Education is excited to welcome you to campus for your coursework this summer. Graduate students looking for housing during the academic year can find details about communities for graduate students and how to apply to live on campus during the academic year elsewhere on our website.
What To Bring
What you choose to bring is based on your personal and unique circumstances. The basics of bed linens, towels, clothing, toiletries, laundry soap and course supplies are sufficient for most students. You may want to consider bringing hangers to hang some items as they are not provided in the wardrobes or closets. µÛÍõ»áËù offers Bear Print in many of our residential facilities so no need to bring a printer. We also have many items for checkout from our front desk including cleaning supplies, games, movies and cooking equipment. We encourage you to look at this list for other helpful ideas of what to bring and what to leave at home.

Summer students will live in South Hall or North Hall. These residence halls are part of the Ridge Neighborhood, located on West Campus. The Ridge Neighborhood is within walking distance of Holmes Dining Hall, the Campus Recreation Center, Turner Green, Campus Commons, the University Center and the West Campus academic buildings.
These halls have spacious lounges with TVs, kitchens and laundry rooms (the cost to run these machines is included in the price of housing) on each wing. These halls also feature music practice rooms and study rooms throughout the facility, as well as a larger lounge and lobby spaces on the first floor for gatherings.

In South Hall and North Hall, most rooms are four-person suites with two double bedrooms. Limited options for singles rooms within a suite or designated single rooms for an additional charge may be available. We also offer the option to “buy out” a room at an additional charge; this would allow a double-occupancy bedroom to just have one person in it.
If you are looking to rent a MicroChill for your time during your time you are here please click below. Note: make sure you choose the Summer Rental option.
You will check in at The Ridge Neighborhood front desk, located at South Hall. We have scheduled most check-ins one day prior to the start of the academic program (generally on a weekend). Please contact our office and indicate on your application if you will need to change your arrival date; additional days may incur additional charges. Upon check-in you will receive a room inventory to fill out for the space you are assigned to. Once completed you will turn the inventory back in to the front desk.
Cleaning supplies, package pick-up and keys to music rooms (if available) are just a few of the services available to you at the front desk.
You can check out cleaning supplies such as a vacuum, broom, all-purpose cleaner and glass cleaner from South Hall Front Desk.
