SOAR Housing Accommodations

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SOAR 2020 is using an online format. There will be no SOAR housing offered for summer 2020. This residence hall and dining information is subject to change for 2021.

Roommate Request

To be paired with a preferred roommate (a parent/guest or another student), both parties must request the other person.

No Roommate Request

If you select a double occupancy room and don’t submit a roommate request, students will be paired with another student of the same gender and parents/guests will be paired with another parent/guest of the same gender.

Dining

Breakfast is included with your SOAR accommodations. A hot, fresh meal is served at a dining unit or near your residence hall.

Each meal has a variety of hot entrée selections, including vegetarian and healthy choices.

Lunch and dinner options are often available in many of our dining venues. The staff at the hall desk can answer any questions you have about meal times and locations.

Guests not staying in University Housing can purchase breakfast with a credit card. Please note: All dining venues accept credit cards. Cash is not accepted.

While at SOAR, we encourage you to check out several popular Dining options that you can find across campus:

• Marketplace Dining venues Gordon Avenue Market and Four Lakes Market
• Flamingo Run Convenience Stores
• Bean & Creamery Coffeehouses

For locations, hours and menu information, please visit our dining page.

If you have dietary concerns or if you’re wondering about the options you’ll have on campus visit our Nutrition and Allergens page for details.
