Application Process

Review of applications for the academic semester or year begins in March and continues through August or until all rooms in our community are filled. Spring and Summer applications are reviewed on a continuous basis as openings occur.

Once your application has been received by the Residence Life Manager, it will be reviewed and responded to within 2-3 weeks.

On a scale from 1-10, where would you place yourself in regard to your needs for a neat and clean apartment and your inclination to do a share of the cleaning. (This is not a judgmental question, but does help us in placing persons together with similar needs and patterns in this respect.) (required)

How tolerant are you of noise?

Commitment to the International Community

  • I understand that this is an international, intercultural, interreligious residence in which many patterns of living are represented and that a major purpose of the Center is to recognize our differences and to learn from each other.
  • I agree to participate in programs planned by the residents and staff and to help plan at least one program or activity each semester.
  • I agree to share (where applicable) an apartment with anyone, regardless of his or her nationality or religious tradition.
  • I understand that sharing apartments requires sensitivity to others and necessitates each person making some compromises for the good of the apartment group and the community.
  • I am aware that ECIR is a smoke-free building and agree to honor this stipulation.
