You can also submit your Senior Intent and enter the Off-Campus Lottery in the Housing Portal.


As you begin thinking about your housing options for next year, please keep your roommate groups in mind. If you are interested in a block or theme community, please review the information below closely.

THEME COMMUNITIES


Any group of students can apply for a Theme Community. The mission of Theme Communities is to build intentional communities by developing relational leaders and connecting personal interests with meaningful experiences.


Theme Communities follows a student-led, staff-advised format that relies heavily on the entrepreneurial spirit of students to form and run their own communities. Under the guidance of a faculty or staff advisor, student groups will develop their own programming and take part in campus opportunities in order to create an immersive living and learning experience.


Students living in Theme Communities share responsibility for developing a thriving community and meeting community goals. A formal leadership role known as the Theme Program Advisor maintains the programming, recruiting, and administrative expectations of the theme. 


THEME COMMUNITY APPLICATIONS ARE DUE BY 9 AM. EST ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26.


For questions about Theme Communities, please contact Abbey Rhoads, Assistant Director of Residential Academic Initiatives and Engagement, at rhoadsa@wfu.edu

RESIDENTIAL BLOCK HOUSING


Finally, Residence Life and Housing and Campus Life acknowledge the common desire of students to live with other students who share similar interests. While these commonalities can be formed around many interests, including having lived together in the first-year residence halls, students often desire to live with other students as a part of a student group in which they participate.


As these groups can facilitate community and leadership growth, recognized organizations/teams can request a housing block in non-freshman residence halls. The initial block size and further increases or decreases are determined by a number of factors, but chief among those factors are stability, sustainable size, and the positive contributions of the group to the residential community. Please note that it is not reasonable that a block size would ever consist of a significant portion of an organization’s membership.


Full block policies and procedures are available HERE.


ALL REQUESTS MUST BE RECEIVED BY 9 AM. EST ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26.


Those wishing to live in Fraternity/Sorority Blocks should contact their chapter leadership, who will submit a request and roster on behalf of the organization. Student-athletes wishing to live on or form a block should discuss this desire with their coaches.
