Apartments
Our four-year residency requirement means students are required to live in F&M-owned or -approved housing for all four
years. In their junior and senior year, students can choose to live in one of three F&M-affiliated
apartments, all within walking distance of the College. Junior and senior class status is determined by entry year cohort and not credit hours.
Students must have two years of enrollment (or the equivalent for transfer students)
to be eligible to live in College Row, College Hill or James Street Properties. Appeals for exceptions should be directed to housing@fandm.edu.
Living in an apartment brings new opportunities and new responsibilities. Students who choose to live off campus agree to a year-long (12-month) rental agreement. This is their responsibility for the entire length of the lease as there is no guarantee of finding a sub-tenant. Arrangements for rent payments and utilities are conducted directly with the management company and the utility provider. These arrangements vary depending on the location.
College Hill
College Hill is a College-approved (not College-owned) housing option for junior and senior students. College Hill is managed by Susquehanna Realty Management.
Students interested in College Hill apartments make lease arrangements directly with the management companies, a process which typically begins in November for the following academic term. Lease agreements are for 12 months.
Furnishing
All College Hill rooms are fully furnished. Each bedroom has a full sized bed.
Rent and Utilities
Rent, gas and electric are paid monthly directly to Susquehanna Realty Management, not to F&M. Water, sewer and trash are included in the rent. Tenants are responsible for setting up their own cable service, if desired, which is paid directly to the cable company. Each apartment is equipped with F&M wireless service included in the cost of the rent. Laundry facilities are available to students at no additional cost. It is expected that students share the cost of utilities with their roommates.
Security Deposit and Fees
A security deposit of $950 per student is collected at lease signing and held until the end of the lease term for potential damages. A lease application fee is required at this location.
