Undergraduate Student Living Accommodations

As a residential college, Adrian recognizes that the institution’s teaching mission extends beyond the classroom. In order to provide students with the maximum opportunity to engage in this out-of-class education, all full-time students are required to live on campus for four years.  Exemptions based on local residence, marital status, 5th year senior, age or part-time student may be made by application to the Housing Office. Apartments, fraternity and sorority and theme housing is considered on campus housing. The College may designate other housing alternatives in the future.

Traditional Residence Hall rooms are furnished with beds, desks, chairs and dressers. Students furnish their own pillows, bedding, telephones, towels, and study lamps if they want them. Each room has voice mail and a connection to the campus computer network and through the network to the Internet. Students need an Ethernet card to connect their computers to the central system. To ensure compatibility with the system, students may wish to call the computer center before purchasing a network card. Hall Coordinators, Resident Assistants or House Managers are available in each facility to help meet the needs of each student.

New students who have submitted an Enrollment Deposit and turn in their Room and Board Agreement by the deadline are assigned rooms during the summer.  The Enrollment Deposit is refundable if cancelled by May 1st in writing. Single room accommodations are available upon request if a Room and Board Agreement is in by the deadline.

Returning students establish their priority for room reservations by submitting a Room and Board Agreement online in the spring. The advance housing payment must be made before the student can be housed. This payment is applied to the student’s room charge and is refundable if housing is cancelled by May 31st. Room assignments in residence halls are made by the online lottery system.

Premium housing (apartments, houses, Cargo, and Pellowe Halls) assignments are determined by number of earned credits, GPA, and students must be in good judicial and financial standing with the College. There is a 2.0 GPA requirement for premium housing.     

All housing applicants must complete an application for choice of preferences to be considered. Students who are assigned rooms during the first week of classes will be charged the full semester rate. Thereafter, charges will be prorated.

Students are held financially responsible for the loss of keys, breakage, property or residence hall damage, equipment or furnishings removed from the premises and fines. See residential Damage Deposit for more information. 

Students who are living on or off campus are encouraged to purchase a renter’s insurance policy to cover personal contents (laptops, clothing, etc.). The College is not responsible for any damage/theft of a student’s personal property.
