University Private-Certified Housing
There are a number of private residence halls around campus, as well as a few houses that are outside of the Greek system and offer a wide and varied number of options that greatly change your living experience. While the private residence halls tend to be more expensive to live in compared to other housing options, they also offer a variety of amenities to make each opportunity unique. Some units have swimming pools in house, others offer apartment style living, and still more offer a cooperative living style, in which house members take turns doing various household tasks. All Private Certified Units are fully air conditioned.
Private-certified residences maintain reciprocity agreements with the university, allowing students to move between the public and private housing systems if they are dissatisfied with their living conditions.
Most undergraduates choose to move into apartments or the Greek houses after their first or second year. The University Tenant Union offers advice on choosing apartments and the process of signing a lease.

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or housing:
“In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
