Supplemental Housing

DHFS feels strongly about offering the experience of living on campus to as many students as possible. Living on campus is an important part of college. When all of the permanent space has been offerred to students, supplemental space is offered.

Supplemental rooms are converted lounges with beds. They tend to be larger than regular rooms and many are carpeted. Every supplemental room has a microfridge, cable tv outlet, internet port, telephone plug, desks and clothing space. Supplemental space is located in almost every residence hall.

Students may live in supplemental space until permanent space becomes available. When they move to permanent space they receive a 10% discount on the room portion of the price for the number of days they lived in supplemental space. It is not uncommon for students to decide not to leave their room when they are offered permanent space, however, sometimes this is not an option for them.
