Housing Options
Charges are based upon the following room types in association with a bathroom, not the number of students living in a room.
- Basic Housing: A room shares a community bathroom (cleaned by University Housekeeping staff) with all other rooms on the floor; typically between 18-30 students.
- Semi-Private Housing: Two to three rooms share a private bathroom (NOT cleaned by University Housekeeping staff); typically 4-8 students share this space
- Suite Housing: Two rooms share a private bathroom (NOT cleaned by University Housekeeping staff), as well as a common room between the two living units; typically 4-6 students share this space
- Single Housing: A single premium fee is added to either the Basic Housing or Semi-Private Housing charge, based upon the location o the single and whether it will share a community or private bathroom
- Apartment Housing: Apartments can house up to 4 students in each bedroom. Apartments include a living room, bathroom, kitchen (with sink & refrigerator), and two bedrooms. University furniture is provided in the bedrooms: desks, chairs, beds, dressers, and closets. A small sofa and table with chairs are provided in the living room space. These apartments are filled by non-traditional adult and graduate students who are approved through the Housing Application Process.
Over-Occupancy Housing
If the resident student population for Eastern University is above the number of spaces we have on campus, students who submit their Housing Deposit late may be placed in an Over-Occupancy Room. These rooms may be intended as doubles but for the time being are placed as triple spaces. These students will be able to move into a traditional size room if one becomes available.
During the first week of school, students in over-occupancy rooms will receive a letter from the Housing Office through their University email account. This letter will ask the student if they would like to be moved to a standard room if one becomes available. If a student does not respond, he or she will forfeit both the opportunity to move AND any credit.
If an offer to move into a standard room is not emailed by mid-September, the student's account will be credited with an "occupancy credit" of $125.00. If an offer to move into a standard size room has not been placed in campus mail by the beginning of October, a second "occupancy credit" of $125.00 will be applied to the student's account.
Please rest assured that the Housing Office will do everything possible to make timely room changes. Residents who choose to stay in an over-occupancy room after being offered a move to a standard room forfeit the occupancy credit. Over-occupancy credit also does not apply if any roommate leaves the room.
