As now even some freshmen, mostly women, have their own room. When asking some students, who live on campus, how they feel about these changes, many expressed concern about having a roommate. For women who wish to have a single space by themselves you have the option of Friars Hall,” Jacobs said. If you seek out and want a single space for male options you have the third and fourth floors of Padua. “I anticipate that we will have an average amount of people filling in the spaces of SLC, Woods apartments, the houses on university row and the rest of the balance will be the people who want to live together in Willer. Rooms that are now vacant will likely be filled, even turned into double occupancy rooms. Padua Hall will be all men, while Friars will only be an available selection option for women. ![]() But we are a long way from declaring victory and going ‘woohoo’,” Thomas Oliver, vice president for enrollment management, said.Ĭurrently Friars and Padua Halls are co-ed buildings, which will no longer be the case next year. The hope is that with growth in applicants that we will see more students in the freshmen class. We also will be looking at a lot of other questions, such as how we advise and those types of things. So that would be enough of a student increase to cause us to look at how we house students. Last year we had 232 freshmen, the number this year could be in the upper 270s, lower 280s. “Looking historically at the number of students who get accepted and come to our institution, we think it is going to come out to be a larger class. This anticipation of a larger class was discovered by the enrollment office, which let other departments know so they could adjust accordingly. That will mostly apply to the spaces of Helein, Garner and Willer because those are the ones that actually have built spaces,” William Joshua Jacobs, director of residence life, said. Because instead of being able to move into a space next door to you, you actually have to find someone you are much more compatible living with. It also is going to mean that move arounds and shuffles are going to be much more challenging to do. It’s gonna make for a tighter fit, it’s gonna mean that more students who got to live by themselves this year may not get to live by themselves next year. “So for next year, when I found out that there is gonna be possibly up to 100 additional residents, I was nervous. With the largest expected incoming freshman class that the university has had in years, the housing lottery system, availability for single rooms, as well as room options will change. Quincy University’s housing system is getting a remodel this upcoming year, in more ways than one. ![]()
