With the 2025 spring semester underway, students are already encouraged to think about housing for spring break, summer and the 2025 fall semester and housing has a couple of new wrinkles for students to consider as opposed to previous years.
Starting in the spring, spring break housing is open on Doane’s ErezLife website and students may fill out a form indicating why they are staying on campus during spring break. Athletics and events that are Doane-related will allow students to stay on campus free of charge, as well as international students are allowed to stay on campus free of charge. If your stay is not Doane-related, students must pay $25 for every day they stay. The dining hall will not be open during spring break. The application is due on March 2, at 11:59 p.m., anything later will result in a late fee.
Housing for the summer is broken up into several blocks. Block one consists from May 19 to June 25 and will cost students $250 for the entire block. Block two consists is from June 26 to July 31 and also costs $250. Students have the option of doing both blocks and paying $500. All summer housing participants will move into Frees for the blocks they are staying in, even if they are living in a separate block. Payments are due on May 26.
The fall housing applications, both on-and-off-campus applications, are open and will close on March 21. A new wrinkle added to fall housing is students with 90 or more credits will automatically receive $1,700 off housing or dining per semester, which equates to $3,400 off for the entire school year. Notable this year also is every single student will have the possibility to win a room in Brodie Hall, as opposed to last semester where lottery winners of the 2024 spring semester had first dibs on rooms in the 2024 fall semester and the 2025 spring semester.
If students are applying for a room in Brodie they must have the subsequent amount of students needed to fill the suite they aim to get into. If you currently live off campus now, you have to re-apply to live off campus again for the 2025 spring semester.
