Issue date: 11/12/08 Section: Housing Guide

The timeline to sign a contract for Greek Court housing is similar to the residence halls in that the re-contracting process for the 2009-2010 academic year will occur in early February. But, in order to secure a room in Greek Court, a $250 down payment will be due at the time the contract is completed.

As always, Greek Court residents are eligible to sign an Early Bird Room & Board Contract.

Eastern offers University Court Apartments as an on-campus alternative to residence halls

University Court, a 10 building, three-story apartment complex, offers an alternative to students who are used to a little more independence.

With furnished apartments designed to house one to four people, residents are able to take advan-tage of many of the services offered in the residence halls, while still enjoying an apartment lifestyle.
