From the moment you’re assigned to a residence hall, your lifelong connection to a Susquehanna community will begin. You’ll live with other first-year students, with whom you’ll take classes and socialize — all while learning more about yourself and others.
HOUSING APPLICATION PROCESS
SU’s Residence Life staff sees you as an individual and makes compatible roommate matches that create robust, energetic and fun communities.
When you complete the housing application on Housing Self-Service (login is required), you’ll tell us about yourself and your lifestyle. Answer honestly so we can best pair you with a roommate. Res Life will carefully review all housing applications and match students based on their responses, taking potential majors into consideration. First-year students also have the option of selecting their roommates through the housing application.
Living Learning Collectives
Honors and business students often live together in living learning collectives — taking classes together and participating in special programming both in and out of the res hall. Other living learning collectives around different topics are available on the housing application.
