Housing Sign-Up for 2012-13
All students in campus housing have the choice to stay in the same room for next year (Room Retention) or move on to another room (Room Selection). Typically students live in our Residence Halls their freshman year, then move to one of our on-campus Apartment Communities once they are sophomores. The apartments focus on providing students the support services they are used to, whicle allowing them private space to grow as an individual.
Location - Value - Safety - Community!
What is the Honors Building?
The University Honors Program and the Office of Residence services are partnering to make College Park 2160 a space specifically for residents in the Honors Program who would like to live together in a fully furnished apartment with four private bedrooms, two baths, a full kitchen, washer, dryer, and more! For more details, rates, floor plans, etc. go to http://www.wright.edu/housing/options/college.html. All of the apartments in the Honors Building are single-gender apartments.
Who is eligible?
Current residents in the Honors Program are eligible. These individuals will be able to ‘pull in’ others who they want to have as roommates, including friends (whether they’re in Honors or not, regardless of their current residence on or off-campus) and transfers who plan to attend WSU next year.
How do I sign up?
