Trina Ballantyne, Dean of Residential and Dining Services, announced several changes to how housing at Stevens will work beginning next year in an email sent last Monday. The most significant change being made is that only first-year students will be allowed to live on campus beginning next fall. Currently, Palmer Hall, River Terrace Apartments, and some parts of Jonas Hall are reserved for non-freshman students. That will change next semester, with only freshmen and first-year transfer students permitted to live on the Stevens campus; all other students who do not wish to find their own private housing will be forced to live in Stevens Leased Housing.
Another change announced by Ballantyne is that the deadline for applying for Stevens housing has been moved up to February 15, which is significantly earlier than the deadline in previous years. Students should begin arranging their plans for living next semester as soon as possible to account for the new application deadline.
The changes come primarily as a result of the reduced bed space on campus beginning next year, as Hayden Hall will be demolished over the summer to make room for the new University Center.
