Stephanie Tubbs Jones Hall

We are utilizing a limited number of STJ apartments for Second-Year Experience (SYE) housing again this year. Second-Year students will be located on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors.

New Residence Halls

The two new residence halls in the South Residential Village will only house Second-Year students.

There are very few single rooms in the new residence halls. We will create a waitlist for students seeking a single in these buildings. If some become available during the summer months, we will utilize the waitlist to offer these vacancies to students.
