Special Interest Housing

For sophomores, juniors, and seniors, applications for special interest housing are released in February. Students must fill out the Microsoft Form application as well as the housing application to be accepted into the community. Students are notified of their acceptance and must complete the agreement form in order to participate in the special interest housing selection process.

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors looking to participate in special interest housing will be able to participate in the housing lottery without a roommate. Students will have the option to place themselves in a room, but should expect that another student will choose the second bed or be placed in the room.

To participate in Brotherhood/Sisterhood Scholars, Quiet Housing, and Wellness Housing, your roommate will so need to participate in that community. 

Yes. In order to be considered for any special interest housing community, you must fill out both the SIH application via Microsoft Forms and the housing application via MyHill. Students who do not complete this step will not be accepted into the special interest community.

Students who are accepted in special interest housing communities will be placed into rooms according to the community they selected. If students are paired with a roommate, they will be placed together. If a student does not have a roommate, they will be placed in a room and  should expect that another student will be placed in the room.

There is no additional housing costs associated with special interest housing.

Special Interest Housing allows like-minded students to live in community together. Whether your passion is for the sciences, service, social justice, or you’re simply interested in living in a quiet community, special interest housing will offer you that experience.
