We expect students who have earned less than 60 credit hours to live in Lynn-sponsored housing (students typically complete 15 credits per semester). We may make exceptions for students with less than 60 credit hours in the following scenarios:

• The student is 21 years of age or older;
• The student is married and/or has children;
• The student resides with their parents or legal guardian within commuting distance (residency documentation is required).

Students who have earned more than 60 credits are not required to live on campus.

We provide a well-rounded educational experience, which includes community engagement. Living with your Lynn peers during the beginning of your educational career is an important part of the experience.

For upperclassmen it is equally important to have the experience of exploring housing options in the community as you become more independent and prepare for your post-college years.

Each Spring term returning students are informed whether they're required to live in university-sponsored housing the following academic year. Required students go through the housing selection process first. Any remaining beds are then offered to non-required students.

Any student who wishes to live on campus the following academic year must submit a housing application by the stated deadline. Housing and Residence Life will then work with the students to keep them informed of the process and related next steps.

No, housing is limited. We do our best to make university-sponsored housing available to first-year and second-year students. Any remaining beds are then offered to upperclassmen. First-time students must submit their deposit and housing application in order to receive a housing assignment. Students who submitted after the stated deadline will receive housing assignments on a first-come basis.

What furniture is provided?

Each room has a bed, mattress, desk, desk chair and dresser/wardrobe unit per person. A mirror, closet and overhead light are standard in most rooms.

Are there computer, cable and/or phone connections in my room?

One cable jack and basic cable are provided in each room; all residence halls have wireless connections.

Do I have to purchase a meal plan?

All residential students are required to purchase one of the three meal plan options. Learn about meal plan options and costs.

Do the rooms have private or community bathrooms?

Trinity, Freiburger and de Hoernle have community bathrooms on each floor; E.M. Lynn and Lynn have private bathrooms in each room. Perper has suite style rooms with a bathroom located in each suite.

Community bathrooms are cleaned daily by the housekeeping staff; no housekeeping services are provided for individual rooms or private baths.

How many students share a room?

Trinity, de Hoernle and Freiburger are double-occupancy, and E.M. Lynn and Lynn are primarily triple-occupancy. There are a limited number of private rooms. Perper has two suite types; a single room suite for five people or a double room suite for four people.

How do freshmen find out who their roommate is?

Once their housing deposit is received, we match incoming students to their roommates based on their completed housing questionnaire. We email roommate information to students' Lynn email addresses in early- to mid-July.

Students must move into their residence halls on the designated move-in day.

The local area provides a lot of options for students seeking off-campus living, from free shuttles to campus, amenities included in the rent or flexible leases.

Commuting students also can choose from a variety of meal plans that fit their schedule and their budget.

We expect students who have earned less than 60 credit hours to live in university-sponsored housing, which includes most first- and second-year students. Exceptions for students with less than 60 credits are given only to students who:

• Are 21 years of age or older
• Are married and/or have children
• Live with their parents or legal guardian within commuting distance of Lynn (residency documentation is required)

Students with full-ride scholarships who are in good academic standing receive on-campus housing each year. If the student chooses to live off campus, they relinquish the housing portion of their scholarship.

Many local housing communities will work with international students who do not have an SSN (social security number). Sometimes this requires a small fee. Contact the leasing office at the residence/community to ask for policies regarding this matter.

Do dorms have laundry facilities?

Laundry facilities are offered in residence halls.

Coin-operated and credit card washers and dryers are in the campus laundry room open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to midnight. Campus Suds, Inc. is available for pick-up/drop-off laundry service.

Is smoking allowed in dorm rooms?

All buildings on campus are smoke- and tobacco-free.

Are pets allowed in dorms?

Only fish are allowed (in a tank up to 10 gallons).

What is the visitation policy?

Resident students may have guests on campus. The guest must provide photo ID to get onto campus.

Can students have a car on campus?

Any student, including freshmen, may bring a car to campus. Register your vehicle with Campus Safety to obtain a parking permit.
