Enrollment

Of 6,877 students enrolled in fall 2024, 3,646 were undergraduates and 3,231 graduate students. 2% studied exclusively online, students who don't need a bed near campus. Headcount rose by 120 from fall 2023 (+1.8%).

Housing the college controls

IPEDS counts 435 beds of institutionally controlled housing for 2024-25. That figure is the school's own capacity, on or off campus, so it includes halls the college leases or manages but not private buildings that simply market to students. Capacity grew by 185 beds from the year before (250 in 2023-24).

What students pay

The typical 2024-25 housing charge for a student sharing a room was $20,800 for the academic year, roughly $2,311 a month spread over nine months. Food added $6,200. For aid purposes the school budgets $27,000 for food and housing on campus and $18,168 for a student living off campus away from family, $8,832 less.

Those are the college's own figures. Private by-the-bed rents near campus can sit well above or below them, so check current asking rents before you underwrite a project.

How lenders read a campus like this

At 6,877 students the campus is below the 10,000-student minimum in Fannie Mae's Multifamily Guide for Dedicated Student Housing (Part III, Chapter 1, section 103.01). Freddie Mac has no stated enrollment floor, but its own product summary says most of its student housing loans are at schools with 15,000 or more students. Banks, debt funds and conventional multifamily programs are the likelier lenders here.

To size a specific property, use the student housing loan sizer. It works by the bed and shows which constraint sets the loan.
