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.

If it is important for you to live with people you know and who are also staying on campus this summer, please let us know by listing their names on your application. Feel free to list several names if a group of you would prefer to live in one apartment. We can’t guarantee that all requests can be honored, but your list of preferred roommates will help a lot! In all cases, if you are assigned to either a Brunswick or Harpswell apartment for Fall semester, you will be assigned there for summer as well.
