What if I don't have a roommate, but still want to move in?

No problem. At University Place we do have a roommate referral system and we will do our best to place you with someone with similar preferences and habits (i.e. non-smokers, night/morning people, etc.) Therefore it is not necessary to have a roommate picked out when you sign a lease.

How does the security door remote entry work?
Visitors must call from the lobby entry phone to gain entry into the building. To use the entry phone, visitors must consult the tenant directory board to find the appropriate apartment number, then by pressing the room number and the "Enter" button, the phone will call up to the room. You can view the visitors on the security channel (13) of your cable system. Upon viewing the guests, you may allow them to enter by pressing 6 on your phone after they press the "Enter" button a second time. This procedure will open the security door only if you have a touch-tone telephone.
