On-Campus Dormitories

Housing for Sogang University Programs (Semester and Summer)

You will be staying at the Gonzaga Dormitory on the Sogang University campus. The dorm building is close to your academic buildings, making morning commutes smooth and easy. The dorm building is located in Gonzaga Plaza, which has many amenities. The rooms are all double rooms, and all students will be assigned a roommate based on their dormitory application form roommate preference. Each room is furnished with a bed, closet, desk, chair, and internet access.

Card-operated laundry facilities are available, and they are separated by male or female gender identity. You will receive more information about laundry cards during your mandatory Gonzaga Hall orientation.

Housing Rules

There is a 10:00 pm curfew in the dorms, but your roommate can come down and let you in if you are still out after 10:00 and they are awake. There is 24 hour security at the door who can let you in as well after checking your ID.

If you lose your key, you should talk to the Gonzaga dormitory staff or speak to the security guard of the building. You should plan to show them your student ID, too. Further instructions will be given in your campus orientation upon arrival, so please pay attention! There may be a charge from the university if you lose your key.

Your housing will be subject to inspections by Gonzaga Dormitory staff, and is expected to be kept tidy. If we receive word from the dormitory staff that there have been damages to your room, any fees charged for these damages will be your responsibility. If you see that something is broken in your room when you first move in, please tell the dormitory staff or Sogang University staff! Please also pay attention to any housing rules outlined in your orientation when you arrive.

You will have a roommate, so please be respectful of them when bringing guests to the room. You should not have any visitors in your room after curfew. You cannot have overnight guests stay with you in the dorms. More details should be offered in your orientation at the university!
