University Place Apartments I

• University Place Apartments I have three apartments designed as two bedroom apartments.  Typically, current residents request to move to these apartments and are given first priority.  The remaining  12 apartments are designed as three bedroom apartments.
• Bedrooms are furnished with residence hall style furniture (bed, dresser, desk and chair).  Additionally, the University provides living room furniture, refrigerator, dishwasher, stove and oven.   Students are not permitted to bring large furniture items to UP I due to the narrow hallways/stairwells.
• Students who receive athletic or fine arts housing waivers/scholarships/grants, cannot use this financial aid for the UP I.  Students with academic housing waivers/scholarships/grants should contact the Office of Housing & Student Life to review if their scholarship is transferrable before committing to these apartments.  This transferability depends on the individual student’s total financial aid package.
• New policies will be implemented for the 2015-16 year for both of the University Place buildings.  For additional details, check out the UP Information Site.
