Interest housing interview and selection process
Interest housing has a predetermined location and students apply for housing in these areas by individual or group, depending on the community. Acceptance into an interest community is based on the quality of the application and/or house review. Approval of interest housing is determined by overall contributions to the community. Preference of house can be requested, but is not guaranteed.
