Grand Challenges students are required to complete the Housing Application process via the Housing website adhering to all deadlines. Grand Challenges students must live in Howell Residence Hall. However, Howell will not be an option on the Housing Application. The Grand Challenges staff will ensure that you are placed in Howell and will provide additional instructions regarding roommate selection after May 1st. Please note that any roommate selections made via the Housing Application will also need to be requested via the Grand Challenges housing form that you will receive.
Application Process
The application for housing is completely on-line. In order to complete the application you must make a $600 prepayment--which incorporates our one-time only $80 application fee. When completing the application students will have the ability to make building and roommate preference selections. If you don't know who you would like to live with our housing application has a roommate finder. Keep in mind, you can submit the application, and then log back in to make edits to your preferences until late June. Freshmen students are assigned rooms based on the date of application--the sooner you apply the better!
