• Any student wishing to live in campus summer housing must also be in good social standing.
  
  
• All students will need to accurately complete and read the terms of the lease to ensure that they can meet all the requirements of summer housing. A supervisor's signature will also be required on the lease to confirm employment or research fellowship.

If you meet the above requirements, you may submit your application for Bowdoin Summer Housing using the link at the top of this page.

If you are remaining in your rental through August 10, you will be contacted by the Residential Life Office in mid-June with details for housing between when your summer lease ends and the start of the fall semester.

Rent

The summer housing rental rate is $80.00 per week. Student employees will be charged their summer rent through bi-weekly payroll deductions. In most cases, students receiving fellowships receive a housing allowance paid by the Department that is offering the fellowship. The allowance is usually automatically deducted from the Fellowship/Internship award, but in a few cases, we will need to receive payments in person at the start of the Summer Housing period.

Conduct

While living in campus housing, students are expected to comply with all of the guidelines contained in the Apartment Lease Agreement.  

Living Arrangements

Apartment and room assignments will be confirmed after receipt of the summer housing applications. We will assign students within campus apartments for this summer and most students will have a roommate. We will try to accommodate roommate requests where feasible, but cannot guarantee that all requests will be met. If you are assigned to a Brunswick or Harpswell Apartment for fall semester, we will try to assign you to that unit for Summer, but cannot guarantee that placement.

If you have questions please email summerhousing@bowdoin.edu.

Room Inspection

Facilities Management works hard to provide and maintain a healthy, safe, and clean living environment for all members of the Bowdoin community. Students should review the Room Inspection page for detailed information on damage policies and cleaning charges.

Students must review and complete the Room Inspection Condition Contract (RICC) within forty-eight hours of occupying their summer housing.
