What happens when the 150 slots are filled?

I want to live on campus and attend the program. What should I do?
Students are encouraged to apply to live in the Business and Entrepreneurship Residential Learning Community (RLC). This is a year-long program that does not require additional fees beyond prescribed housing and residential fees. Learn more about applying to an RLC on the Office of Housing and Residence Life website.
