Residential Communities

Students of all majors are encouraged to apply for membership in the First-Year Living-Learning Communities. Students must be an incoming first-year student to qualify.

Students who are members of the Levermore Global Scholars program, Honors College, Adelphi Plus Program, and transfer students cannot be members of the First-Year LLCs, because they have other special First-Year Seminar courses just for them.

The First-Year Living-Learning Communities are located on the first floor of Eddy Hall. The Living-Learning Community lounge within Eddy Hall is equipped with couches, chairs, and a large television with network capabilities. The lounge is a short walk from the main lobby and kitchen area, where students have access to a stovetop oven, microwave, and counter space for cooking. The lounge is also connected to a laundry room.

The rooms in Eddy Hall are mostly double rooms with air conditioning. For the current cost of these rooms, please view the current housing costs for residence halls. For housing accommodations specific to a documented need, please contact the Student Access Office.

There are no added costs to be a member of the First-Year Living-Learning Communities. We believe all students who wish to develop their personal and professional skills should have access to these programs, and thus, all students are encouraged to apply.

Yes, students accepted into the First-Year Living-Learning Communities may share a room with any student(s) of their same-sex who are also accepted into the same Living-Learning Community. Students may indicate roommate preferences through the application process.

The classroom for the First-Year Living-Learning Communities is located on the first floor of Eddy Hall, just steps from where you will be living.  The special First-Year Seminar courses for the First-Year Living-Learning Communities will meet weekly in this designated classroom space.

The Honors Residential Community for First-Year Students is located on the first floor of Earle Hall.

Gender Inclusive Housing is open to first-year students, sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students.

No. This option can benefit any individual since a student has the ability to choose or be assigned a roommate with whom they would feel most comfortable.

Gender Inclusive Housing is available in Chapman Hall, Eddy Hall, Residence Hall A, and Residence Hall B. Chapman Hall and Eddy Hall have all-gender restrooms with private showers. Rooms in Residence Hall A and B have semi-private single-stall bathrooms with a shower that is only shared among roommates.

We have recently updated how to apply for Gender Inclusive Housing. You will be able to select your spaces through the typical housing process after completing the steps below:

First, you take the first three steps that are necessary for anyone who is interested in housing in the upcoming year.

• Your non-refundable deposit of $300
• Your must be registered for classes for the upcoming year
• Your housing application must be complete

While completing your housing application be sure to indicate that you are interested in Gender Inclusive Housing.

Then you must complete our Gender Inclusive Housing Community Agreement form, which is required to be filled out in order live in GI Housing.

This form will also be sent to any students who qualify for selection, marked GIH as a preference, but have not completed the Community Agreement form as of the qualifying emails sent out.

All these steps must be complete in order to create a roommate group with other GI Housing students and to select a room in GI Housing.

Unfortunately, like other specific housing options, there are a limited number of spaces available. If more students apply for gender-inclusive rooms than there is available space, then students who are not able to select a room will be placed on a Gender Inclusive Housing waitlist.

You will now be able to assign yourself to a space! After completing all of the steps for a housing application and the additional Gender Inclusive Housing Community Agreement, you will be designated in the system to select your own spaces.

We encourage all students who do not have a roommate already to go through our processes to find a potential roommate. Some of these options can include our roommate socials offered in all of our halls, through some of our social media pages, through the “Find a roommate feature” on your housing portal. Please note that you will not see any students who have not already completed ALL steps required of this process.

While the Office of Residential Life and Housing will not restrict the students with whom you live, we discourage students who are in an intimate relationship, regardless of sexual orientation, from living together.

The Office of Residential Life and Housing will work with any students who feel uncomfortable in their living situation. All roommate conflicts will be treated equally and options will be provided to ensure that all students are comfortable in their living situation.

The Greek Life and Social Fellowship Residential Learning Community is located in Residence Hall A.

The rooms in Residence Hall A are mostly three-person rooms with air conditioning and attached bathrooms. Students can live in three-person rooms (Large Triple in Room in Residence Hall A).

We believe all students who wish to develop their personal and professional skills should have access to these programs, and thus, all students are encouraged to apply.
