Please select the type(s) of housing for which you'd like to be considered. Note: Housing will be assigned as it is available.
Single students and students who will not have their families in residence with them have several on-campus housing options. Please note that all available options are listed here, but may not be available when you apply. Also, certain stipulations exist for particular housing options.

In Fall 2013, Wesley Seminary finished construction and opened doors of our New Residence Hall (NRH) to residents for the first time. Available in the building are 24 single beds and 48 double beds. Current residents have priority housing in the NRH. Available beds will be determined after the first priority deadline (June 1) and assignments of new student applicants made at that time based on the order of receipt of application. In the case a single is not available to an applicant who has requested it, your name will automatically be held on a waitlist and single beds will be offered as (if) they become available.

Carroll Residence Hall apartments are reserved first for married students and students with children who request them, and second for international (F1) students (certain apartments). You may request a Carroll apartment, but your request will not be filled until after the second priority deadline. It is highly atypical for any Carroll apartments to be available for spring applicants. Please do not request a split (shared) apartment in Carroll unless you have a preferred roommate who is also applying.

Please note that Residence Life will process applications for these in order of need and then receipt. Once your preferred accommodations are full, you will be offered the next closest accommodation available.
Married students moving to campus with their spouse or partner have two primary on-campus housing options. Couples may live in Carroll Residence Hall or the Jr. Apartment in New Residence Hall.

Carroll Residence Hall apartments are reserved first for married students and students with children who request them. Please note that efficiency and two-bedroom apartments are reserved first for single international students and families with children, respectively. Married couples may choose a one-bedroom apartment in Carroll or in New Residence Hall.

Students requesting the apartment in New Residence Hall should understand that once a child enters your union, you will be required to vacate New Residence Hall, and take residence at Carroll Hall.

Please note that Residence Life will process applications for these in order of need and then receipt. Once your preferred accommodations are full, you will be offered the next closest accommodation available.
One, two, and three bedroom apartments in Carroll Residence Hall are available to students coming to campus with their families in residence. Carroll Residence Hall apartments are reserved first for married students and students with children who request them (the exception being efficiency apartments). Two and three bedroom apartments, while available to married couples, are reserved first for families with children, but it is highly atypical for any larger apartments to be available for spring applicants. If there are no two or three bedroom apartments available when your application is received, you will be notified and offered another assignment, if one is available.

Be sure to read the Seminary's Occupancy Standards to ensure you are eligible for placement in the unit for which you are requesting.

Please note that Residence Life will process applications for these in order of need and then receipt. Once your preferred accommodations are full, you will be offered the next closest accommodation available if one exists.

You may be asked to provide a physician's note to verify the medical necessity of your request.
The following questions are for students requesting housing in the Birch Intentional Living Community.
Intentionality involves covenantal agreements within the community about living together in the space, sharing resources, and practicing spiritual disciplines. Building upon these broad principles of covenantal life established by the seminary, the Birch residential community will set its own specific rules of common life for the purpose of spiritual growth and learning how to foster and sustain a rich and holistic communion as the ground of the Christian life.

Please answer the following questions, reflecting on any previous experiences (if applicable), as well as your preparedness for the coming year.
The purpose of the intentional community is at least two-fold: to develop spiritual maturity in each member and to be a living witness of life in the Spirit. What does living intentionally in community mean to you, and how would doing so help you develop spiritually?
Every person is a gift from God, and each person is gifted by God for the greater and common good. In what ways will you be able to contribute to the community? What distinctive qualities and gifts do you bring to covenantal life?
No one is perfect or complete in themselves, and no community is perfect or complete in itself. We all stand in need of growth and redemption. What needs do you bring to the community, and how might covenantal community challenge you most productively to grow spiritually?
No community can avoid contestation; conflict can actually help us clarify our differences and grow in community. How do you engage persons most productively with whom you disagree? What are your growing edges with respect to engaging conflict?
Disciplining ourselves spiritually develops us personally and corporately. What spiritual disciplines have been most formative in your life? What practices would you like to explore in community?
Living in intentional community is a blessing, but is also hard work. All students applying to live in the Birch Intentional Community will be asked to meet (via skype or conference call) with the current community as a means of assessing your preparedness for this unique challenge. Please be prepared to have an honest discussion about intentional community, including any of your previous experiences in community and your responses to the above questions.
