Housing Application Tips For New Students
The Housing application is open from February 15 until May 15, which allows plenty of time to complete the Housing application. Be sure to take your time and be thoughtful in your answers to the supplemental application questions. These questions are reviewed by the Faculty Principal and determine which students are selected into Green Quad.
- Why do you want to join Green Quad? Please reference leadership skills, personal/professional goals, interests, and/or skills you wish to develop.
