How Do I Qualify to Live at Baity Hill?

You must be a full-time graduate student or a graduate or undergraduate student with a family to live at the Baity Hill community.

Please note: Effective January 2016, Baity Hill no longer accepts applications for postdoctoral fellows. This decision has come with careful deliberation within our department. Our primary reason for discontinuing this program is because our leases always end in May. More often, postdoc fellowships end between December and February and/or their departments lose funding and they are forced to move. In the past, we’ve made exceptions to try to accommodate the postdoc schedule. However, what we’ve found is often times we have to turn away students in the summer and fall because we are full, then an apartment that would have been occupied by a student is now vacant for several months because a post doc has vacated prior to May. By doing this, we have not been able to provide the best service to incoming students.

What Type of Apartments Does Baity Hill Have? Are They Furnished?

We have 1 bedroom/1 bathroom, 2 bedroom/1 bathroom roommate and 2 bedroom/2 bathroom roommate apartments in all buildings. Apartments are not furnished. We allow you to bring your own personal furniture, just as off-campus apartment communities do. Each apartment does have a dishwasher, a refrigerator and washer and dryer hookups. Each building features laundry facilities for residents without their own washer and dryer. The 1BR/1BA & 2BR/2BA apartments are usually filled quickly so you may have to choose apartment type over building location.

How Much Does Baity Hill Cost? What Are the ContractTerms?

Please refer to our Rates page for updated costs.

Contracts at Baity Hill run from June 1st (or actual “Contract Start” date) through May 31st.
The “Contract Start Date” is the date that your contract and rent will begin. The Move In date is the date that you actually complete your move in appointment and keys are issued.
Once you have agreed to a “Contract Start” date, this is the date your contract will begin, even if you choose to move in at a later date. These dates may be the same or they may be different.
Semester rent is due on the same payment schedule as reflected through the Cashier’s office. Rent deferments can be requested that allows a student to pay monthly or throughout the semester.
We offer a summer extension or summer bridge (placing a hold on an apartment by paying reduced rent for June and July) option upon request.
Subleasing is not permitted.

Does Baity Hill Allow Pets?

No pets are allowed at Baity Hill, except for fish.

When Can I Apply? How Do I Apply?

Applications are accepted year-round, and apartments are leased on a first-come, first-reserved basis with preference given to undergraduate and graduate student families. The application approval process begins when we have received the completed application and the non-refundable application fee of $300.

When Do You Begin Assigning Apartments?

We will begin assigning incoming students to available apartments for the Fall Semester after April 1 for the upcoming Fall semester. Students applying throughout the year are assigned on as applications are received and apartments are available.
We will assign apartment based on an available apartment that best fits your preference(s).
A confirmation letter of this assignment will be sent to you via the email address on the application. The confirmation letter will give you information regarding the specific apartment that has been assigned, lease start date, monthly rental rate and pro-rate amount, if applicable.

When You Say "All Utilities Included," What Does That Include?

Electricity, including heating and AC, water, and high speed internet access are all included in the rent. If you do choose to utilize the laundry facilities on-site, you will have to pay using your OneCard. Although covered parking is available, it is not included in the rent.
