Are students guaranteed housing?
All students are guaranteed housing. First-year students who are not married typically live in individual dormitory type rooms. Students in subsequent years, as well as first year students who qualify for family housing (married students, domestic partners), are eligible for housing in studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments in two WCMC owned buildings in the neighborhood.
If all of the approximately 6000 students at SUNY Plattsburgh wanted to live on campus, we would not be able to accommodate them, so technically, the answer is no. However, since only half of our undergraduate students typically request to live in residence halls, we are usually able to accommodate everyone. Room assignments are made on a first-come, first-serve basis and we would resort to tripling double rooms in order to give students a room when demand exceeds our capacity.
