СÓÅÊÓƵ provides many options for those living on campus. While every effort is made to accommodate all new and returning students who request housing, beginning in Fall 2016, new СÓÅÊÓƵ students will receive priority for on-campus residential assignments. Austin, McNeel Boathouse, McKay, Morsani, Smiley and Vaughn Center are designated as first-year residence halls. Depending on the first-year student class size, Brevard may also be used for some first-year students. Brevard, Jenkins, Palm Apartments, Straz and Urso will be designated as upper-class residence halls. Upper-class students will also be able to select the Barrymore Hotel through room selection.
Each building offers different floor plans. Most new students are expected to share rooms with at least one other student. New students may also be assigned to triple or quad rooms. Most singles are reserved for upper-class continuing students. Learning communities provide opportunities for students to live together based on similar interests.
In order to ensure a healthy working, living and learning community, СÓÅÊÓƵ campus is smoke and tobacco-free. Read theÌýfull policy, find cessation resources and frequently asked questions.
