Modern buildings (Broadway, Ondine, West Hall, and Stephen Epler Hall) are charged on a ‘by the bed rate.’ This means that your contract is separate from your roommate(s). Therefore you are not held responsible for the total cost of the space should your roommate choose to move out, or fail to pay for their student housing. However, you are expected to maintain a clean living space should a new roommate be moving in.

Historic buildings (Saint Helen’s, Stradford, Parkway, Blackstone, King Albert and Montgomery Court) are charged on a “by the unit rate.” A roommate fee is built into the cost of the unit, and the number of roommates split the cost evenly. The advantage to ‘by the unit’ housing that each roommate only pays a portion of the total rent, with no added fees beyond the $50 roommate fee. NOTE: You and your roommate are jointly responsible for the cost of the space. If your roommate moves out, the remaining resident(s) will be responsible for the full rent.
