To reside in summer housing, students must meet one of the following conditions:
- Resided in on-campus housing or a GU rental during the spring semester and transitioning directly into summer housing. If no other conditions are met, the duration of the stay is limited to 4 consecutive weeks.
- Registered for at least one summer session.
- Registered for fall semester.
What types of housing are available and what is the cost?
Gonzaga University offers apartment-style housing to students. The apartments are furnished, and include all utilities. Students who will not be accompanied by family members share a 2 or 3-bedroom apartment with other students of the same gender. The cost is $225 per student per week [1]. Students who wish to reside with immediate family members while at GU may request a family apartment [2]. Those assigned to a family unit will not be required to share an apartment with other students. The cost of a family apartment is $325 per family per week [1].
[1] Housing charges assessed on a weekly basis (Sunday to Saturday). Partial weeks are assessed at a full week rate.
[2] The family rate applies only to students accompanied by their legal partner and/or children under the age of 18.
What is living in summer housing like?
Apartment-style housing has a diverse resident population with differing lifestyles and housing expectations. For instance, many of the residents are traditional-aged students who have lifestyles that include late night studying and activity, music volume that extends beyond the boundary of the apartment or bedroom and demonstrate a youthful and independent attitude. With such a diverse population, conflicts within and between apartments are bound to arise. While Gonzaga University will be active in moderating disruptive behavior, we do not provide on-call resident staff to resolve conflict within or between apartments. In apartment-style housing, we expect residents to be mature enough to reasonably resolve conflict with others prior to residence staff involvement. Living in apartment-style housing is not like living in a hotel. If you desire hotel type accommodations, you may wish to consider local hotels.
When is resident staff available?
Each apartment complex has live-in staff. Resident staff will be available at times posted on the staff member's door. In case of life-threatening emergency residents should call 911. For other emergencies, resident may contact Security at (509) 313-2222.
Is parking available?
Each complex has a parking lot. A parking permit is not required to park in these residential lots. There is also on-street parking adjacent to the apartment complex.
Will I have to share an apartment?
Unless your family will be staying with you, you will likely be assigned room and apartment-mates. You may, however, request room and apartment-mates. Except for legally recognized families, no mixed gender apartments are allowed.
