New Student Housing Application

 

New Fall 2023 Freshmen Housing 

• Freshmen housing will be offered in Highlands 1 and 2
• Students select their own roommate and rooms.  Room styles are based on first come, first serve basis.
• Housing Rates for 2022-2023 can be found here. The 2023-2024 housing rates have not been finalized. As soon as the housing rates are determined for 2023-2024 they will be posted here.
• Living Learning Communities (LLCs) will be filled on a first come first serve basis. If you select a Living Learning Community, please know that will take precedence over room type. Roommate requests for the LLCs should match Living Learning Community requests to ensure an assignment together.
• To receive priority consideration for medical housing accommodations, students should contact the Office for Students with Disabilities to have their recommendation in to Residence Life before June 1.
• All students living within campus housing MUST have a meningitis vaccination or a waiver on file through the PennWest Edinboro Patient Portal before moving in. Please access the Patient Portal to update your information as soon as possible.

Roommate Selection - Beginning December 12

You will have the option to put in a specific roommate or search for someone who is compatible.  If you choose to search for a roommate, you can take time to talk to them and decide if you will be a good match prior to confirming the request.

Room Selection - February 7

This will be done as a lottery with your position determined by the date and time of application submission. Students will be able to select any room available even if they do not have a roommate to fill the space.  Understand, we will be consolidating and matching students so your room number may change throughout the months leading up to opening.  Always refer back to your PennWest portal for your current housing assignment as it may change if your room is not filled. 

If you want a select room style and it is not available, please complete the waitlist that is in this portal.  Room styles are limited, and we will try to meet your preference, but be sure to select another space in case that preferred style does not become available.
