Some students—particularly those with families—may prefer the apartment-like atmosphere of University Apartments as opposed to living in one of our residence hall rooms.

University Apartments
The apartment units located at Hawkeye Drive and Hawkeye Court include kitchens, bathrooms, and one or two bedrooms.

Students with dependent children are given priority in the assignment process for University Apartments as long as their housing application is received by May 15 for fall semester enrollment, by October 15 for spring semester enrollment, and March 15 for summer session enrollment. After these deadlines, housing is assigned on the basis of the date of receipt of application.
