The Snowbound Housing Program
Make campus your home this winter.
The Snowbound Housing Program gives commuter students the chance to live on campus for up to 40 days each semester. This short-term option makes it easier to skip the tough winter commutes and enjoy the convenience and comfort of campus living.
How It Works
Open to commuter students.
Stay for 40 days during the end of fall (Nov–Dec) and/or the beginning of spring (Jan–Feb).
Pay a daily housing rate, pro-rated from semester costs.
At the end of your stay, you can return home or transition into full-time on-campus housing. (Historically, about 80% of Snowbound participants choose to stay for the rest of the semester.)
You can participate in one session or both—it’s your choice.
