Housing

On-Campus: Single Students

Starting this summer, single students will have the option of living in a dormitory or seeking off-campus housing. For those students who choose to live on campus, a revised meal plan will offer the current six lunches per week plus four evening meals, Monday through Thursday. The Seminary provides dormitory housing for single male students. These facilities offer three types of accommodations: double occupancy room, private room, and private double room.

The Seminary also provides on campus housing for female students which includes a room, as well as cooking and laundry facilities.

Dormitory rooms are furnished with a desk, chair, bookshelf, dresser or chest of drawers, wardrobe or closet, and a bed with mattress. Students furnish their own pillows, linens, blankets, and desk lamps. Coin-operated laundry facilities are located conveniently on campus.

On-Campus: Married Students

The Seminary owns apartment units for married students. Units can be configured for 2-4 bedrooms. Each apartment has a stove and refrigerator but is otherwise unfurnished. Each unit has a small storage area assigned to that unit. Some buildings have laundry hookups in the basement. All the apartments offer comfortable and convenient accommodations for a married couple. Pets are not permitted in Seminary-owned apartments. The demand is high each year for the available Seminary-owned apartments. Apartment availability and ability to take possession of a unit is dependent upon the existing tenants move out date. Rental rates are competitive with the local market.

Meal Plans

Students living in dormitories are required to participate in the 10 midday meal plan. The meal plan consists of 6 midday meals (lunch Monday – Friday, and brunch on Saturday), and 4 evening meals (Monday – Thursday). The food service staff makes choices available for students with special dietary needs. Meal service is not available during breaks. In addition, there are a variety of food options within walking distance of the campus.

The housing application deadline is March 31st, but as been extended to April 15th for single male students this year.
