A great choice if you'd like more privacy and want to be on campus.

Semi-suites are two rooms connected by a shared bathroom, giving you more privacy than a standard residence hall room. You can choose between a single semi-suite (1 resident on each side of the suite) or a double semi-suite (two residents on each side of the suite).

Semi-suites are located in Julia Sears and Preska J/K/L Halls. Due to the popularity of semi-suites, students who want this room type should apply early in the process. Click below for more information on semi-suites.

Meet students quickly and become immersed in the community.
