Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got the answers!

How do I apply for housing?

Check out our How to Apply for Housing guide (15kb PDF) that takes you through the process step-by-step.

What’s included in the rent?

All costs are included in the rent (water/sewer, high-speed Internet, basic cable TV) except electric and phone (heat is part of the electric cost).

Will my financial aid cover Hopson Flats housing charges?

It depends on the type of financial aid you have. We suggest you contact your college’s financial aid specialist to get specifics.

Will I have to share a bedroom?

No. Hopson Flats features 100% private bedrooms.

Can I live with my friends?

Definitely. Hopson Flats offers 2-, 3- and 4-person units so you can choose your flatmates. Each unit is contracted by the bedroom, rather than per flat unit. This means that you’re only responsible for paying for yourself—not your flatmates. Even if one of your flatmates moves out, you never have to pay housing charges for anyone but yourself.

What if I need a flatmate?

We’ll be happy to direct you toward resources where you can find other students to share your flat.

Are the flats furnished?

No.

What is the term of my lease?

Leases run for 12 months (per person) starting August 1st through July 25th annually.

What if I don’t stay in town during the summer?

You’re allowed to sub-lease your flat, if needed.

Where do I park?

Parking is available in the lot directly across the street, next to Founders Brewing Company.

Access to the lot is available on a monthly basis. Please contact us for details. There’s also street parking available in the area and free visitor parking on the south side of the building.

What are your office hours?

On Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm on April 12, May 17, June 14, and July 12.
