Undergraduate On-Campus Housing and Move In Day

All new first-year students live in campus housing and some exchange students elect to live in campus housing maintained by Carnegie Mellon. There are traditional residential dormitories and apartment-style living options. First-year students must follow the instructions in the Welcome Packet and submit their Housing Application and Housing License Agreement as instructed.

International Student Move-in Day for the residence halls is Friday, August 15, 2008 from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. When you arrive on campus, go directly to the check-in tent outside Morewood Gardens E Tower where you will receive your room key and other pertinent information (please do not check-in at Housing and Dining Services office). (Normal business hours for Housing and Dining Services are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.) Housing and Dining Services makes every effort for you to move directly into your fall housing assignment, but as a resident with early arrival status you may be required to move into a temporary assignment for a short period of time.

Please be advised that due to summer housing demands and building maintenance, you are not permitted to enter your living space or store belongings before August 15, 2008. More information is available at Housing and Dining Services web site under the "first year resources" icon.

For parents and friends, a list of accommodations close to the campus is listed in the “Temporary Housing” section below. Reservations will be necessary as this is a very busy time of the year. Be sure to ask for a Carnegie Mellon University discount when making reservations.
