Freshman Live-in Policy
All single, first year freshmen under the age of 21 with

Students who live in the residence hall are required to
have a meal plan. All questions regarding this policy
should be directed to the Housing Office at (719) 549-

Belmont Residence Hall
Belmont Residence Hall (BRH) houses nearly 500
students in three wings, which are joined by a large
common area. The common area serves as a
gathering area and has a large-screen television and a
kitchen. The housing office and student mailroom are
located adjacent to the area. The lower level of the
common area consists of a recreation area (including a
court for volleyball and basketball), a weightlifting gym,
study lounge, and laundry facilities. BRH also has a
computer lab, tutoring lab, pool table, ping-pong table,
vending machines, an ice machine, and many other
amenities. The front desk is staffed 24-hours by
student staff to answer questions and check out
equipment.
All rooms are designed for two people, and single
occupancy is available on a very limited basis.
Students may be placed on a single room waiting list
based on the date in which the Housing Office
receives their room reservation form and deposit.
Rooms are approximately 12 feet by 13 feet in size.
Each room contains two extra long twin beds, with
drawer space below, two desks with a study lamp built
into the desk, two bookshelves, and two desk chairs.
A $125 deposit must accompany each application for
space in BRH; $25 of the deposit is used as an
application fee and is non-refundable; $100 of the fee
is used as a security/damage deposit. The deposit is
held in escrow for the duration of the student’s
occupancy.
