Shared Housing Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Shared Housing Program

How many people are in an apartment?

Typically, there will be no more than 4 residents in a 2 bedroom apartment, and no more than 5 residents in a 3 bedroom apartment.

What does my monthly housing payment cover?

Each resident receives an individual lease with CHS that covers the following:

  • Your monthly housing program costs
  • Your utility cost up to a monthly cap
  • Your basic furniture package monthly lease
  • Roommate Matching

Your monthly housing program costs allow you to be able to:

  • Tailor your lease to accommodate your graduation date
  • Not have to pay extra rent if a roommate leaves
  • Transfer to another apartment inside the Shared Housing Program if you choose.

Your monthly housing payment also provides student life programming as well as Resident Assistants in most markets.

 

I am paying for a private bedroom. Does that mean I get my own bathroom?

No. Our Shared Housing Program only provides the option of having a private bedroom. All other areas of the shared apartment are to be shared with your housemates.

I already have a roommate picked out. Can I still use the Shared Housing Program?

Yes. If you have friends attending the same school who you want to live with, just include their names on your application and make certain that they include you on their applications as well.

What happens after you receive my application?

After we receive your application, we apply our student and military-friendly credit qualifications/terms, then we review your preferences so we can find you a great place to live with roommates you’ll like to hang out with. The review process typically takes a few weeks. Once you’re approved, we’ll send information and reminders about every 45 days to help you get ready for move-in day. Please keep everything together. You’ll need it for move-in.

What is included in a furnished apartment?

Apartment configurations may vary but typically include living room, dining room and bedroom furniture, twin beds, heat and air conditioning with budgeted utility costs included, most include dishwashers and full-size appliances. All you need are the essentials – food, cookware, clothes, linens, and cleaning supplies. Apartment communities typically feature on-site laundry facilities, clubhouses, swimming pools and/or exercise facilities.
