To apply for Housing as a New Freshman, you will have to submit a housing application and pay a non-refundable $50.00 fee for a room within the Residence Halls before any other action is taken. Once this has been done, the application will stay on file permanently.
After applying for a room on-campus students will be given the opportunity to request a specific hall, room, and roommate. However, physical space and prior assignments of returning students are limiting factors in being able to meet every student's request.
We offer a service called Roomsync to help you find a new roommate on campus. When it's time to use Roomsync to select a roommate, you will be able to do so through MyEIU.
If you have any questions or would like to talk to one of our staff members about your options, please contact us.
