First Year Room Assignments

All first-year students will be assigned a housing placement based on the date of the student’s HOUSING DEPOSIT.  The earlier a student deposits for housing, the more likely he/she will receive desired housing preferences. 

 

 

Alexis & Menard Double

Alexis & Menard Hall Standard Double Room.  Students assigned to these placements will be charged the standard housing rate for Alexis/Menard. 

 

Alexis & Menard Triple

In order to ensure an adequate number of bed spaces for all incoming students who desire on-campus housing for the fall semester, the University will assign a necessary portion of first-year students to three-person accommodations based upon the date of their housing deposit. 

 

Triple Accommodations are Alexis/Menard Standard Double Rooms with three students assigned to the space.  Students assigned to a Triple Accommodation will be charged the standard housing rate for Alexis/Menard, but will receive a housing rebate based upon the number of days assigned to the placement. 

 

Other First-Year Accommodations

Some first-year students may be assigned to upperclassman housing (based upon room availability in Alexis & Menard Halls).  Students assigned to these rooms will be charged the housing rate for that residence hall. 

 

 

          Roommates

 

All students living in double and triple rooms will be assigned roommate(s), so it is essential that you fill out the lifestyle preferences section of your housing application completely and accurately.   

 

The Office of Residence Life cannot guarantee your roommate or suitemate selection.  In order for roommate requests to be considered, the request MUST be mutual between both roommates.  All roommate requests must be received no later than July 1st.  Students can complete a “Roommate Request Card” during Summer Orientation, or email us at reslife@walsh.edu.  Please include your full name and the full name of the person you are requesting. 

 

 

In your housing assignment letter, you will receive contact information for your roommate.  Be sure to contact your roommate(s) and talk early about what items each of you will bring for your room.  If you live close to one another, you may want to consider meeting before the beginning of the academic semester so you have an opportunity to get to know one another before the hectic pace of move-in and orientation.
