Campus & Community Living
Residence Halls
The university maintains two men's residence halls (Meier Hall and Burman Hall) and one women's residence hall (Lamson Hall). Double-occupancy rooms are standard. Private occupancy is permitted by special request, if space allows, for an additional fee. All single undergraduate students under the age of 22 are required to live in the residence halls unless living in the community with parents as described in our Residential Living Policy.
Apartments and Houses for Rent
The university owns approximately 300 apartments and 37 houses. These are available to married students and single-parent students. Efficiency apartments in the Garland complex are available to single graduates or single undergraduates who are 22 years of age or older. Accommodations are available only to those who have been officially accepted as university students. Since apartments are limited, applicants are advised to apply six to nine months before their first semester of studies.
Most apartments are furnished. Tenants must supply their own linen, draperies and kitchen utensils. Unfurnished apartments have a stove and refrigerator. Heavy furniture and pianos may be placed in the apartments only by prior arrangement with the Family and Graduate Housing director. Pets are not allowed in university apartments or houses. The apartment descriptions, rental rates and application forms are available upon request. Visit the Graduate and Family Housing web site for applications and further information.
Other Accommodations
Some area landlords have their names and phone numbers on record at the Family & Graduate Housing office. Students eligible to live within the community may consult or copy this list.
