Summer Housing

During the summer, Seattle University offers safe, convenient and affordable housing in Seattle for Seattle U students. Our residence halls are located in some of the most vibrant neighborhoods of the city and offer easy access to all that Seattle has to offer. RAs and desk staff are available during the summer.

All summer housing will be in the Murphy Apartment Complex. Application opens May 1, 2023 by 12 PM PST.

Summer Room Types

For Summer Quarter, shared occupancy room spaces, along with a limited number of single occupancy room spaces, will be available for assignment.

The following apartment types will primarily be classified as single occupancy:

  • Studio 1 single
  • Single Apartment
  • Two-occupant Studio 330
  • Two-occupant Studio 370

The following apartment types will primarily be classified as shared occupancy:

  • Studio 330 (if space is needed)
  • Studio 370 (if space is needed)
  • Townhouse apartment
  • Quad apartment
  • Triple 1-bedroom apartment

If you are assigned a shared occupancy space, you will be assigned into one of these room types listed. Students are not able to indicate room type preferences for summer. If you wish to live in a shared space, you may indicate a roommate preference on the Housing Application

IMPORTANT NOTE: You may indicate your housing type preference on the Housing Application, but please note that, depending on space, you may be assigned a shared occupancy type, even if you indicate you prefer a single occupancy room type. We thank you for your patience and understanding as not all room types can be used as single occupancy space.

 Roommate Information

If you select to live in a shared occupancy space, you may indicate a roommate preference on the Housing Application. Please note that this other person needs to have a completed housing application on file in order for our office to make an assignment for them. We recommend that you speak to this person and ensure they have submitted their housing application and have indicated your name in this section of the application.

Additionally, if you indicate a roommate preference, you may still be assigned to a space with other roommates. For example, if you only indicate 1 other person here, you and that other person may be assigned to a quad apartment, where you will share the space with 2 other individuals. Choosing a roommate does NOT automatically guarantee a room assignment where only 2 people can be assigned.

Please note that indicating a roommate on the application is optional. If you decide not to choose a specific roommate, then you will be assigned a roommate (if assigned to a shared occupancy space). Please note that even if you indicated above a preference for a single room space, you may still be assigned to a shared occupancy room with a roommate.

 

Summer Housing Charges

Summer Housing charges correspond with the session that the student chooses, as well as the room type the student is assigned to (see next section).

All students will be billed the session rate outlined below based on the number of weeks that corresponds with the chosen summer session. If you need to extend your time frame during the summer, please email our office and we will verify if we are able to do so.

Selecting a meal plan for summer is not required, regardless of classification status. The below meal plans are available for purchase for the summer period. However, we ask that you strongly consider your plans for dining over the summer, given that Redhawk Dining may have limited hours.

Additionally, please note that you will be assigned an apartment with a fully functional kitchen, to which you may want to cook more.

If you are NOT currently living on campus, you will receive more information about your move in logistics on your approved move-in date. Please expect to receive more information in mid-to-late May 2023.

If you ARE currently living on campus, you will receive more information about moving to your summer room assignment when you are assigned a space mid-May. Students currently on campus are automatically approved for a late-stay request until summer occupancy begins. The spring-to-summer housing transition date will be Friday, June 16, 2023. Current residents will not need to find alternative housing options between June 10, 2023 (when the halls close for summer) and June 16, 2023.

If you will be a Murphy resident for the upcoming Fall 2023 Quarter, we will try and assign you to your room space for the fall quarter, however we are not able to guarantee this. You may need to move again at the end of the summer period.
