On-Campus Housing & Meals

Fall 2008 Applicants: On-campus housing is now  full for Fall 2008.  No additional housing applications can be accepted for the Fall I, 2008 IELP session. (See "Off Campus Housing" below for more information about alternate living options.)

Spring 2009 Applicants: Campus housing is available on campus in the university residence halls for Spring 2009.  Please indicate your interest on the IELP Application form.  IELP will share your housing request with the CCSU Residence Life Office.

For photographs of the Residence Halls on campus, please see the Residence Life Web Page.

NOTE:  On-campus housing is always limited during the fall semester.  Therefore, applicants must register early. Generally only students who register for the entire fall semester (16 weeks) are eligible for on-campus housing. Students who come Fall II (October) and the Spring II (March), sessions are allowed to live on campus for eight weeks. Although chances of getting housing during the spring are better, applicants are still advised to register early.

Campus Meal Plans: All residence hall students are required to purchase a meal plan during the fall and spring sessions. IF YOU LIVE ON CAMPUS FOR FEWER THAN 16-WEEKS, YOU MUST PURCHASE THE 19-MEAL PER WEEK PLAN. OTHERWISE, YOU MAY CHOOSE FROM SEVERAL AVAILABLE MEAL PLANS. Meals are served in the Memorial Hall Cafeteria. There is no food service during major University holidays or breaks. In the summer, you can eat in the campus cafeteria Monday through Friday or at restaurants near the campus seven days a week. Applicants should declare room and board needs on their application.

Off-Campus Housing

IELP is happy to supply information about off-campus housing opportunities, but we cannot guarantee off-campus housing and we are not authorized to enter into rental agreements on behalf of students.  Students are ultimately responsible for finding and securing their own off-campus housing. A list of alternative living options within easy distance to campus are available on this page: http://www.ccsu.edu/ResLife/alternateliving.htm

Personal Expenses

Obviously, personal expenses can vary considerably. You should allow for such expenses as extra meals, shopping trips and entertainment.
