in housing on campus regardless of the timing in the semester. We offer a variety

What does this mean? Gender Inclusive housing is a housing option in which two or more students share a multiple occupancy room or apartment regardless of students' sex, gender identity or gender expression. In other words, this option allows for same gender or other gender identities to live together regardless of biological sex.
