Suites offer a variety of living options, with more spaces and styles to choose from than traditional halls. Fort Lewis College's suite-style options have two or four bedrooms connected to a common area, a shared bathroom(s) within the suite, and one, two, or three people per room.

All incoming first-time students are required to live on campus for two academic semesters (fall and spring) unless they meet one of the following exceptions:
You must submit all exemption requests in writing and have them approved by the Director of Housing. If you apply for on-campus housing, are housed for the fall term, and do not request an exemption, you must reside on campus for the entire academic year. You can submit your exemption request online.
Yes! In the housing application, under the “Roommate Groups” page, you can search for roommates by their last name, student ID, or their screen name. You can also get roommate suggestions based on similar responses to the Roommate Matching & Lifestyle questions in the housing application.
When you send a roommate request to another student, they will have 14 days to accept the request in their housing application.
First-year students: Once your roommate group is set, the Student Housing Office will prioritize placing you with your requested roommate based on the rooms available.
Continuing students: Students who applied by the March deadline to participate in room selection can have other members of their roommate group reserve a room for them in the housing portal. We recommend that the member with the earliest timeslot reserve a room for the rest of the roommate group during their room selection time. Students who applied after the March room selection will have their housing assignmnet booked by the Student Housing Office, prioritizing requested roommates where space is available.
All students living in residence areas without full kitchens are required to enroll in a dining plan. They are automatically signed up for the 19-meal plan but can change to the 14- or 10-meal plan through their housing portal until the Census Date. After Census Date, students may still increase their meal plan.
Apartment residents are not required to have a meal plan but may add one through their housing portal or purchase a voluntary meal plan through Fresh Ideas.
