Do you allow pets?

Yes. We are a pet-friendly housing facility. At this time only Dogs and Cats are permitted. We have a 2-pet limit, and each pet requires a one-time $500 pet fee. In addition to the pet fee, we require a signed pet addendum form, pet photo and your most up to date pet vaccinations.

Do you allow roommates?

We do allow ACHE roommates. If you are interested in having an ACHE roommate, please note that we do not assign roommates. If you need help finding a roommate, you may reach out to the Housing Office, and we will do our best to facilitate conversations with other students who are also looking for roommates.

In addition to ACHE roommates, if you have a significant other, spouse, or family member who will be living with you, we call these individuals authorized guests. Authorized guests are any persons who will be living with a student on a permanent basis or who will be staying five or more consecutive days with the student. A background check is required for these individuals, and the charge for the background check is the responsibility of the student. Background checks are available at a minimal cost.
