Voluntary Overcrowding
In order to keep friends groups together, students can voluntarily overcrowd a suite and/or apartment in McCarthy, Mal Brown, Cunningham, Ditraglia, Davis, Bedford, and most traditional hall rooms by one student per semester.
- Voluntary overcrowded rooms do not receive any housing rebate.
- Voluntary overcrowding groups are not given preference in the housing selection process.
- There are no incentives to voluntary overcrowding other than the desire to try and keep a friend group of 5 or 7 together in the same apartment or suite.
- We do not recommend sophomores form groups of 7 in hopes of getting a 6-person apartment or suite. Most 6-person apartments or suites will be assigned to juniors and seniors on their housing selection dates.
- No more than 1 student beyond the normal occupancy. For example: A 6 person suite can only have a maximum of 7 in a semester.
- Shanley Hall does not allow any voluntary overcrowding.
- Generally, Davis and Bedford are NOT ideal for voluntary overcrowding. The rooms are tight. Cunningham, Ditraglia, Mal Brown, and McCarthy Halls provide a little more space. If your group is looking to voluntary overcrowding, it is encouraged to speak with current students in that housing situation for feedback.
- The triple set-up is flexible so please place a work order with the Physical Plant office with specifics of your room set up by July 1st.
