17. Housing Options All first year students are guaranteed housing. First year students live on both the East and West sides of campus – there is not one “first-year area” but rather six residence halls that house all first year students. The style of housing is generally connected to their first year program. Messina students live in doubles. Most Loyola 101 students live in suites and apartments.

18. Doubles Double rooms are shared by two students and students share a bathroom with three to ten other students on their floor of the same gender. Doubles are available in Hopkins Court, Butler Hall, Hammerman Hall, and Flannery O’Connor. Some double rooms hold three to four people.

19. Apartments Apartments are shared by four to six students and have two or three bedrooms, a kitchen, dining room, living room, and one to two bathrooms. Apartments are available in Campion Tower

20. Suites Suites are shared by four students and have two bedrooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and small dining/study space. Suites are available in Lange Court

21. How are roommates matched? Students are asked to answer a number of questions about themselves that help us to match them with the best roommates possible. Tomorrow during housing registration, it is important that students answer questions honestly.

22. What is next? Students will get their housing assignments from us in early August via their Loyola email account. In that email we will include contact information for their roommate(s). Everything students will need to know prior to move in will be located on our website, including: pictures of rooms, dimensions of furniture, descriptions of amenities in each building, items to bring and not bring, etc.
