Housing Room Types

Housing offers four general room type options to residents - private single occupancy, single occupancy, double occupancy, and triple occupancy rooms. We have included the basic features of the room types below to help you decide which option might be best for you. You might consider the number of occupants of the room, the bathroom configuration, and the layout of the room space when choosing a room type to suit your living needs, as well as the difference in rates for each room type.
