Gender-Inclusive Housing
live where you can be you
Our Gender-Inclusive Housing option allows students of all gender identities to live together in a supportive and affirming community. It’s designed for LGBTQ+ students and allies who want a space that celebrates inclusion and respect.
When completing your housing application, simply check the box for Gender-Inclusive Housing to opt in. You’ll then select the gender identity that best fits you:
-
Male – for students who identify as male/masculine (including trans men).
-
Female – for students who identify as female/feminine (including trans women).
-
Non-binary – for students who identify outside the male/female binary (for example, gender-fluid).
Room assignments are based on your preferences and comfort — for example, students who select non-binary may room with anyone who selects male, female, or non-binary.
