Are there micro-fridges or kitchens available? Bellarmine, Campion, Chardin, and Xavier have micro-fridges in each room as well as kitchens in each residence halls. Apartments have kitchens in each unit.
How do students change their meal plan? In compliance with the on-campus living policy, freshmen and sophomore students living on campus are required to have at least the Residential Meal Plan. Students can change their meal plan by submitting the Meal Plan Change Request form through the Housing Portal on the HRL website within the first 10 class days of each quarter.

What if something needs to be fixed in a room? Students submit work requests online to fix any problems that arise in their room and to request for their beds to be bunked, lofted, or un-bunked. This can be done online through the Work Order portal found on our website (http://dlweb.megamation.com/seattleuniversity).
How may a student request a change to their room assignment? Room changes and other requests may be made via our Housing Portal. Our office will process room changes until September 1, 2022. To request a change:
Please note room change requests are based on space availability. If we are able to process your request, we will contact you via email.
Can students bring a car? A bike? What are the public transportation options? First year students are not allowed to bring cars to campus and will not be given a parking pass. Students are allowed to bring bikes and we provide both outdoor and covered bike racks.
There are numerous Metro bus stops on the campus perimeter and Public Safety provides discounted bus passes.
What happens if roommates don’t get along? We encourage roommates to communicate over the summer about sleep habits, study habits, favorite music, etc. During the first few weeks of the fall quarter, roommates will craft a roommate agreement outlining their agreed upon expectations for their living situation. Learning to live with someone is an important life skill, and we provide both student and professional staff support to residents as they navigate this opportunity. Resident Assistants (RAs) are there to help mediate conflicts and students should contact their RA first with any issues that arise. If necessary to come to a solution or to determine if a room change is needed, the RA staff will refer students to HRL professional staff.
