St. Thomas Residence Hall Association announced in an email this November that it will reserve 150 more beds in on-campus housing for current first-year students returning for fall 2019. St. Thomas plans to move towards a two year on-campus residency requirement as they renovate and restructure campus housing in the next ten years.
The university announced plans for two new dorms, which will be built where John Paul II and Faculty Residence currently sit. The projects are expected to be complete in 2020 and will not use tuition money.
For students who choose to live off campus, a new housing option could be coming soon to a neighborhood near St. Thomas.
