Description of Program
Brown University has established a program designed to assist graduate and medical students with housing. To be eligible for this program, an applicant must be:
- A first-year graduate student
- A matriculated student of Brown University for the term requesting housing
To apply for one of these housing units, students must submit the Graduate Student Housing Application. Submission of an application does not guarantee placement in a unit. Applications for this program will be accepted until all available units have been assigned. Priority will be given to first-year graduate students.
Applicants will be emailed their housing assignments. If applicant decides to accept the assignment, the applicant will receive a rental agreement via the email address on file. The rental agreement must be signed and submitted by the specified deadline. A $500 security deposit will be charged to the applicant's Banner account at this time. If the rental agreement is not signed and returned by the stated deadline, the applicant will lose the assigned unit, and the top-ranking applicant on the waiting list will be assigned the unit.
Students may not rent a multi-bedroom apartment by themselves. Graduate housing coordinators will assign roommates to those requesting space in a multi-bed unit, unless the applicant names a preferred roommate. Preferred roommate must also meet the eligibility requirements as a first-year graduate student.
Brown University reserves the right to add, remove, or change dwelling units included in this program and also to terminate this program at any time subject to its obligations under the rental agreements executed under the program. Brown University does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, age handicap, status as a veteran, national or ethnic origin, or sexual orientation.
