University Housing is now taking applications for the 2013-14 academic year. Apply to live on-campus and in the new North Campus Village!

You can find more information about Housing, our buildings, and the application on our application website. We’ll have a VIP sign-up day on Friday, April 12 for any student that has lived in the residence halls for the last 2 years. Students will be able to pick their room and roommate for next year!

April 15-16, we’ll have regular sign-up days for any student currently living on-campus. Students will be able to pick their room and roommates during these days as well.

For all new SOU students, they can apply today to live on-campus, but they will not receive their housing assignment until this summer. However, all placements are done based on when they apply for housing, so the sooner you apply, the more likely you’ll get your first choice!

Here are a few photos we’ve taken of the project!

A main steam pipe to Greensprings lost air pressure today resulting in no heat or hot water for most of the day in Greensprings Residence Hall. The air pressure issue has been repaired; however, it will take several hours for the water to heat up again.

Next week, October 1-5, 2012, Webster Street between Wightman Street and McNeal Pavilion will be closed at various times. Adroit Construction will be pouring the concrete mezzanine and setting the roof trusses the new Dining Hall.

Adroint will install a street closed sign and install delineators to keep everyone safe. Access from Wightman Street into Parking Lot #1 will remain open at all times. Webster Street will be open to traffic on the weekends.
