Q3: Is there a housing application fee?
A. Yes. Once admitted to The University of Toledo, complete and send in the Housing and Dining Service Application-Contract along with a $40.00 non-refundable application fee. Suggested application deadline for Fall 2008 is April 1, 2008. A $200 prepayment fee is required for on-campus housing eligibility and it must be received by June 1, 2008. If the $200 prepayment is not received by the deadline, you will not be given a housing assignment

A: YES! On the housing application-contract the student can list their top three choices of residence halls. We will do our best to assign the student to one of these choices.
Q5: Can I request a roommate?
A: YES! Roommate requests must be mutual, and will outweigh requests for building and living-learning preferences. It is important for requested roommates to send in their houisng application fee together or around the same time. The date of the last application to be received for roommate requests will be used in assigning students.

A: First-year students do not typically receive a room of their own, but they can request one and we will honor their request if the space is available.
Q8: How are the housing assignments made?

A: Housing assignments will be made available in mid-to-late July. The student will sent a housing packet in the mail and may also view their housing assignment at http://my.utoledo.edu.

Q12: Where can I eat?
A: All residents except those in McComas Village are required to purchase a meal plan. Various meal plans are available from a set number of meals a day to continuous dining all week with "All-you-care-to-eat" dining facilities across campus. Incoming, first-year students must select one of the two continuous dining meal plans with the option of five or seven days of continuous dining. Other residence halls and the Student Union offer a variety of eateries for students.
