What are per-person contracts?

Instead of requiring all roommates to sign a joint lease, each person at The Grove has their own individual contract, with one person per bedroom. This means you are only responsible for paying for yourself — not your roommates. Even if a roommate moves out or other bedrooms in your apartment are empty, you only pay the rate for your bedroom.

  • Furnishings

Will my financial aid cover charges at The Grove?

Your living costs at The Grove can be covered by financial aid, just like on-campus housing.

A minor occupying a bedroom space rented by a parent, guardian or person with legal custody is not considered a breach of the Housing Agreement or a violation of the rules. The Grove is an Equal Opportunity housing provider and welcomes applications from non-students. In order to match student roommates in shared apartments, we will request roommate consent for any non-student occupants.
