University Hall set to open in Fall 2016
The University of Bridgeport is excited for our newest residence hall –
UNIVERSITY HALL – to open in the Fall 2016 semester!
Designed to embrace the context of the local architecture, stylized by the many private homes on campus which were part of a beautiful seaside community built during the industrial era of late 19th and early 20th centuries, UB’s new residence hall is suggestive of a resort hotel similar to those of Bar Harbor, Maine. Students with more than 60 credits are eligible to live within a double room in the residence hall. Students with more than 90 credits, or if they are graduate students, are eligible to live within one of the suites.
Students wishing to live on campus for the Fall 2016 semester, and take part in room selection, must pay the $200 housing deposit no later than April 1, 2016. The housing deposit can be paid to Student Financial Services, Wahlstrom Library, or online at bridgeport.afford.com. Students must have a balance of less than $500 to be eligible to pay the deposit.
