Housing Options
A variety of housing options are available. Freshmen and sophomore students are required to live with a roommate.
Modules -
There are six or more rooms in a unit with at least two people in each room. Traditional underclassmen are usually assigned to live in a module.
- East Hall is the tallest building on campus and home to the newest modules. South side rooms have a great view of all the activities on the campus green, and the city lights give north side rooms a view at night. An East Hall module typically has nine triple-occupancy rooms and is predominantly housed by freshmen students. Each room has its own bathroom and high-speed internet access (Ethernet cable required) and is furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser and a wardrobe for each resident. Each floor has a laundry room and its own lobby which is used for hanging out, playing games and studying. Fully handicapped-accessible units are available.
- Strasbourg modules are two-story buildings with 12 double-occupancy rooms centered around a common lobby which is used for hanging out, playing games and studying. Each room has high-speed internet access (Ethernet cable required) and is furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser and closets for each resident. These modules are a great place for freshmen and sophomores to build community.
- Traditional modules provide freshmen or sophomore students with spacious rooms and a small community-feel. Seven double-occupancy rooms are centered around a common lobby. The lobby is a great place for students to connect with each other while studying or playing games. Each room is furnished with a bed, a desk with a hutch, a desk chair, a dresser, a built-in closet and an Ethernet port for each resident. With fewer people, these smaller modules lend themselves to the building of close relationships. Handicapped-accessible units are available.
Villages -
A village consists of two living areas in one two-story building. Villages house both freshmen and sophomores and sometimes upperclassmen. The upper level of a village is similar to a traditional module with approximately seven double-occupancy rooms. The living area has a lobby and two large community bathrooms. The lower level is a suite of five resident rooms housing nine students. There is a full recreational kitchen which is shared with the upstairs module residents, a lobby area and two community-style bathrooms. Both upper and lower level lobbies are great places to hang out and connect with other people in the village. Each room is furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a closet/wardrobe and high-speed internet access for each resident (Ethernet cable required). Handicapped-accessible units are available.
Suites -
The Kriegbaum Suites offer an opportunity for sophomores and certain upperclassmen to live semi-independently while still being in the heart of the FPU community. Each suite has a living room, kitchenette, bathroom and two bedrooms that typically house three students. Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser, a closet/wardrobe and high-speed internet access for each resident (Ethernet cable required). Furniture for living and dining room must be provided by the residents.
Houses -
Student houses, for junior and senior students, offer proximity to campus and more independence than the traditional residence options. Most houses have three to four bedrooms, house six to eight students and share a common backyard for a community park-like setting. Each bedroom is furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser and a closet/wardrobe for each resident. Each house is also provided a dining room set, one living room couch and wireless internet for the convenience of all house residence (an internal/external wireless card is required).
Apartments -
Apartments provide upper classmen with a more independent form of living while still being on or next to the FPU campus.
- East Hall apartments, located on the top two floors of East Hall, house juniors and seniors in style. Each two bed/two bath apartment houses four students and has a full kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser, a closet and high-speed internet access for each resident (Ethernet cable required). Students will need to provide their own living room furniture, but breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains are included. Each floor has its own laundry room. One fully handicapped-accessible unit is available.
- Kriegbaum East apartments provide juniors and seniors with the experience of apartment living while still living in the heart of the FPU community. Each apartment typically houses three students and has two bedrooms, a bathroom, full kitchen and living room. Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser, a closet and high-speed internet access (Ethernet cable required). Students will need to provide their own dining room and living room furniture.
- Ranchwood Condominiums are just off campus—close enough to walk to class, yet a perfect distance away to allow for an independent lifestyle for juniors and seniors. Located in a gated community just north of the main campus, one and two bedroom units house two to four people. Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, a desk, a hutch or bookshelves, a desk chair, a dresser and a closet for each resident. Each unit also has a fireplace, washer and dryer, and dial-up internet provided by the university. All other furniture must be provided by the students. A 24/7 shuttle provided by the Campus Safety Department is available to and from the campus and nearby shopping venues. Ranchwood Condominiums offer a place for students to create a home away from home.
