Eastern is preparing to welcome one of the largest incoming classes in the University’s history. This strong interest reflects the energy, momentum and sense of community that students and families are seeing at Eastern.
To make sure that as many students as possible who want to live on campus are able to do so, Eastern is adding beds in Mead Hall, one of our most popular first-year residence halls.
Beginning this fall, Mead Hall suites will be configured as six-person suites, with three students in each bedroom.
Each suite includes two bedrooms, a shared bathroom, a living room, air conditioning, a walk-in closet and additional storage space.
Mead Hall is one of Eastern’s most requested residence halls because it offers suite-style living and amenities that students value, including air conditioning, a living room, a shared bathroom, large bedrooms and storage space.
Each Mead Hall suite includes:
Beginning this fall, Mead suites will house six students, with three students in each bedroom.
Each Mead bedroom will be set up for three students. The anticipated setup includes a combination of beds, including a lofted bed, so that furniture can fit efficiently within the room.
Students and families will be able to view a model Mead suite during June and July SOAR sessions. A video tour will also be shared for students and families who are unable to see the space in person.
Yes. Students and families attending SOAR sessions in June and July will have the opportunity to view a model Mead suite.
Students who are unable to attend one of the June or July SOAR sessions should watch their Eastern email for a video tour and additional information.
Students attending the August SOAR session will still receive information about Mead Hall, housing preferences and roommate matching. Eastern will also share a video tour or other visual information so students and families can see the Mead setup before move-in.
Students should continue checking their Eastern email for updates.
Yes. Students may update their housing preferences through July 5.
Housing assignments will be made the week of July 6.
Updating Residence Hall Preference Instructions:
Yes. Students will be able to match with preferred roommates as part of the housing preference process.
During SOAR, Housing staff will provide information about how students can update housing preferences and roommate matches. Students who need assistance will have opportunities to receive help during SOAR.
To Search for Roommates:
This process is best completed on a computer instead of a mobile device.
Responding To Roommate Requests:
This process is best completed on a computer instead of a mobile device.
Housing assignments will be made the week of July 6.
Once assignments are complete, each student’s actual housing rate will be reflected on their account.
The rate for Mead Hall six-person suites will be $4,700 per semester.
This rate reflects the suite-style amenities of Mead Hall while also providing a lower cost than the previous Mead Hall rate.
Students who have completed their housing application and paid their housing deposit will first see an estimated housing charge of $4,700 on their bill.
This is a placeholder amount only. It does not indicate a specific residence hall, room type or roommate assignment.
Once housing assignments are made the week of July 6, this estimated charge will be replaced with the actual housing charge for the student’s assigned room.
No. The estimated housing charge does not mean that you have been assigned to Mead Hall or to any specific residence hall.
It is a placeholder amount that allows billing and payment processes to begin before final housing assignments are completed.
Because housing assignments will be finalized after SOAR, the estimated housing charge allows billing and payment plan processes to move forward before final room assignments are complete.
After housing assignments are made, the estimated charge will be replaced with the actual housing charge for each student’s assigned room.
Once housing assignments are made, the estimated housing charge will be removed or adjusted and replaced with the actual housing charge for your assigned room.
Depending on your final assignment, your actual housing charge may be higher or lower than the estimated amount.
Students and families using payment plans may first see the estimated housing charge and then see an adjustment after housing assignments are finalized.
If you have questions about your bill or payment plan, please contact the Bursar’s Office at bursar@easternct.edu or 860-465-5255.
Parking for first-year residential students will be limited due to the size of the incoming class and overall parking availability.
First-year residential students who need a car on campus may submit a parking appeal through the Campus Police Parking Permit Appeal Process. Campus Police will announce when this process is open.
No. The parking limitation is specific to first-year residential students.
Commuter students will continue to have access to parking.
Housing information will be shared during student and parent housing sessions at SOAR.
Students and families attending SOAR in June and July will have the opportunity to view a model Mead suite. Housing staff will also provide information about how students can update housing preferences and roommate matches.
Eastern may offer virtual information sessions or open office hours for students and families who have additional questions or who are unable to view the Mead setup in person.
Students should continue checking their Eastern email for updates.
