Transfer Student Residence Hall Option
Eligible incoming transfer students may choose to live in the residence halls. All transfer students will live in Castilian Hall in the Cuarto Area (view map), along with returning residents from last year. It is possible some incoming freshman may also live in Castilian Hall.
Castilian Hall utilizes apartment-style "suite" configurations: several bedrooms are located off of a central, shared living room. Single- and double-occupancy rooms are available, and suites accommodate up to six residents. Each suite has its own shared bathroom (this is in contrast to traditional residence hall designs where community bathrooms are shared by an entire floor or hall).
