How are we billed for our apartments?
You will be billed in two installments by Student Financial Services (SFS). You can make arrangements with them to make payments.

Can my family live with me on campus?
Yes. There are larger apartments to accommodate families. There are only a few and they fill up fast so request early!

Is it possible to get a studio apartment and later switch into a larger apartment? 
You may be put onto a waiting list for a larger apartment if you wish. Please be aware that typically studio apartments are given to students coming to Babson by themselves, 1 bedroom apartments are given to couples and 1.5 and 2 bedroom apartments are given to couples with children. Exceptions can be possible but only in rare cases.

Can I apply for the 1.5 or 2 BD apartment and have a friend stay with me?
No. The larger apartments are for families, not double occupancy.

How will the housing fee be paid?  
You may pay with a check or credit card and payments should go directly to Student Financial Services (SFS).

Does the fee for the semester including the housing for Winter break and spring break?
No. The total you are given is per semester. You may stay in your apartment for the summer but there will be an additional charge.

Can I stay in an apartment for just the summer or one semester?
No. All apartments are under a contract for the entire academic year. If an extenuating circumstance should arise and you need to vacate your apartment you can request to be released from your contract but it is done on a case by case situation. By signing the contract, you are responsible for the cost of the apartment for the full academic year.

If my apartment does not have air conditioning, may I bring my own?
No. The buildings are not equipped to handle the amount of energy needed for each apartment to have an air conditioner. Some apartments have air conditioning in them already but otherwise we suggest that you bring fans.

Are pets allowed?
Fish in 5 gallon tanks are permitted in the apartments. Cats and dogs are not allowed.

Does the apartment come with any appliances?
The apartments do have a stove but you should plan on bringing your own microwave, kitchen appliances and dishes.

Are there laundry facilities in each apartment?
Laundry facilities can be found in each building with the exception of building 10 which shares facilities with building 9. Washers and dryers are operated with quarters or by putting money on your Babson One Card.
