Limited Availability:
The housing available on campus can only accommodate approximately 20% of all physicians‐
in‐training. Additionally, housing is very limited during the summer months as out‐going
physicians often vacate the premises after in‐coming physician must report. Therefore, it may
be necessary for you to make transition arrangements during the months of June and July, if
possible, with subsequent housing assignment in August. Housing Services will make every
attempt to resolve these timing conflicts. Alternatively, if you are willing to share an apartment
with another resident for one or two months, this may also facilitate your permanent housing
assignment.
Assignment Policy:
The apartment building is utilized as temporary housing quarters to assist incoming residents
until they become familiar with the area. There is a three‐year limit on residing in HFH
Apartments. Housing Services attempts to meet all requests regarding specific housing
accommodations. This is done on a first‐come, first‐serve basis. Housing Services is committed,
however, to accommodating as many individuals as possible and therefore, reserves the right
to assign housing based on individual need, family size and/or other factors. Residents with
families or who wish to share an apartment may be given priority for two‐bedroom apartments.
Every effort is made to accommodate your choice of apartment size and floor; however, due to
the limited number of apartments that are available, it is not always possible to give you your
first choice. As a general rule of thumb, one‐bedroom apartments are better for single
individuals; two bedrooms are better for couples or families. If there are not enough one‐
bedroom apartments available, you may be assigned to a two‐bedroom apartment even if you
request a one‐bedroom apartment.
If you or a family member has a physical disability involving mobility, we will try to
accommodate you in a suitable apartment. However, it is urgent that you complete your
application for housing as early as possible and indicate your need for special housing.
Generally, most correspondence is transacted through email. If you do not receive a response
