Summer Housing

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. 

How do I apply?
