Do I have to be a Shoreline Community College student to live on campus?
No. Though our building is created with Shoreline Community College students as the primary residents, our building is open to all full-time enrolled college students wanting a college housing experience who meet our rental criteria. Contact the leasing office for more details and questions about eligibility.
I receive financial aid. Can I use it to pay for part/all of my rent?
Let the Leasing Office know when you receive your housing agreement and we will work with you to coordinate payment.
I’m an international student. Can I still live on campus?
Yes! We require that all International students meet the credit requirement outlined in our Rental Criteria and will still need to process an application for each applicant. We do not discriminate based on nationality.
I’m under 17 years old. Can I live on campus? Does a parent need to sign the housing agreement with me?
Unfortunately, students must be at least 17 years old at time of move-in to be eligible to live on campus. If that student is 16 years old at time the agreement being signed, they will be required to sign with a guarantor (parent or guardian).
Do I have to find my own roommates?
We’ll help you find them! After you apply you will be sent a roommate survey that will help our staff determine whom to place you with.
Can I choose to live with people I know instead of being placed with new roommates?
On the roommate survey, there is an option to provide the names of other applicants that you want to live with. Please note that they must request you as well in order for you to be assigned to a room/unit together.
Is it possible that I might be placed with a roommate of a different gender?
Yes, it is possible. You will have the opportunity to designate on your roommate survey whether you would prefer to live with someone of the same gender or someone of the opposite gender (we call this a gender-inclusive unit) and we will do our best to accommodate your request. However, we want to encourage residents to branch out of their comfort zone and find friends throughout the building. Choose a setting that will be most comfortable and enriching for you. Please be aware that though apartments may be gender specific, each floor will be mixed gender.
Are there any vaccination requirements to live at 7000 Campus Living?
Some vaccines are highly recommended but not required, please see our guidelines here for more details on vaccinations.

Do I sign a housing agreement with all of my roommates?
Once we match you with your roommates, you each will be sent individual agreements to sign electronically. Everyone will be responsible for care of the shared common area spaces, but as far as rental payments – you will only need to worry about your own.

What is the “Activity Fee”?
Each student living on campus pays an activity fee of $50/quarter which covers the cost for community amenities, events and programs. Students do not have the option to opt out of this fee.
