Answers to All Your Questions
- What is a Wickiup?
The residence hall's name comes from an Algonquian word describing structures that nomadic tribes used for temporary housing — a convenient and valued place of shelter.
- How much does it cost to live on campus? What does that include?
Visit our Rates, Fees, and Billing webpage for more information. Housing provides you with a Budget Worksheet as well to help calculate tuition, fees, room and board so that you can see the total cost of living and attending COCC.
We strongly recommend speaking with the Financial Aid Office before completing a housing application. Learn more about financial aid for on-campus housing.
- What living options are available?
- Quad Double Suites
Most spaces available for students starting their first year in on-campus housing are located in quad double suites. This suite layout includes two double bedrooms (each bedroom is shared by two residents) attached to a common living space with a bathroom/shower, shared by the four suitemates. - Quad Single Suites [limited] There are a smaller number of quad single suites available. Similar to the quad double suites in all aspects except there are four single bedrooms instead of the two double bedrooms. Many of these spaces are either selected by any returning students or are held for students who demonstrate a specific need for such a living environment. If you are interested in being assigned a space in a quad single suite please contact the Housing and Residence Life Office to discuss your request.
