Do I have to have a meal plan?

Meal plans are an option your school may provide, and you may use if you would like. However, included in your apartment is a full kitchen consisting of everything you will need to prepare your own meals. This includes a refrigerator, sink/garbage disposal, microwave, oven, stove, and dishwasher!

How much more does it cost to stay here than on campus?

This is a commonly asked question that is different for every student mainly because each student spends money very differently (some residents eat out every night, while others cook for themselves a majority of the time being one example). That being said, many students find it to be much cheaper than living on campus!

Will you send me a bill each month for rent?

Rent is due on the 1st of every month, for each resident. Because rent does not change and is always due on the first of the month we do not send out a bill. Who needs another piece of mail, right?

What utilities are included in my rent?

We take care of the majority of your utility bills to make your stay here as convenient and efficient as possible! This includes free water, cable TV with HBO, high-speed broadband internet, sewage, and trash; not to mention all apartments are fully furnished! The only utility bill you pay is your gas and electric, which you pay directly to Consumers Energy.

Can I request an apartment or roommates?

We rent apartments on a first come, first serve basis. That means the sooner you sign a lease, the better chance you have of getting the apartment of your choice! In regards to roommates, you can fill your own apartment with whomever you'd like; but if you're having a hard time finding roommates, we have a roommate matching program that can assist you.

Is parking available?

Yes! We give one parking permit per resident. As far as guests go, don't worry! It's as simple as coming into the office, getting a guest parking pass (which are free of charge), and they are perfectly fine to park here for the remainder of their stay.

Financial aid is available to help students pay for their housing; however, once you have received your housing financial aid check, you would have to submit to us a new check that reflects our name.
