What do I need to know about campus housing?

ROOMMATES: A roommate is anyone who shares your housing choice. This includes both family members and friends. (Please note that we cannot house those of the opposite sex together, unless married or a family member). Children 17 and under are automatically housed with the parent or chaperone.

IMPORTANT: The MJAA does not provide roommates.

In the Roommate Box on the registration form, please list ALL roommates. Your roommates must indicate your name, as well as any others sharing your housing. This is how we know who is rooming together.

Roommates must choose the same housing option – either a shared dorm or a 1 or 2-bedroom apartment. If you have chosen the Apartment option, ALL roommates must choose this option. If the apartment is granted, only one credit card will be charged one time. (We will call you in June)

All roommates must be registered by May 31st so we are able to place you together when we do housing, which begins at that time. If your roommate hasn’t registered by then, we will place you in a Private Dorm room and apply the Private room rate. Those who have chosen an Apartment will be called; apartment may not be granted.

Please be aware that these are empty, college style Dorms and Apartments. Please bring any amenities you may want during the week. (for ex. Cookware, utensils, cups, hangers, extra towels, soap, shampoo, paper towels…)

At the end of your stay, please leave the room as you found it. Remove and dispose of all trash, food, and bedding from the room. A service charge will be added for any damage, or extra cleaning, required.
