Does the institution offer housing options to accomodate the special needs of transgender and transitioning students (either as a matter of policy or as standard practice)?:
A brief description of the program, policy, or practice:
Gender Neutral Housing is an option that allows students to be assigned a room without regard to gender. Students that request Gender Neutral Housing will be assigned with others making that same request. Because the room assignment is gender-blind, students may be matched with someone of the same or different gender. Any room type is available for Gender Neutral Housing. In addition, if a student has a specific roommate request that is a student of a different gender, that request may be accommodated provided the request is mutual.
