ALCOHOL AND DRUGS Franklin Pierce prohibits alcoholic beverages in all public areas of the campus, including lounges and corridors of residence halls and outdoor areas unless special permission is received, from the Dean of Student Affairs, or their designee, for a particular function.
Because of these institutional commitments, a student is required to reside on-campus and is encouraged to become an active participant in campus life. Residential Life will review off-campus petitions and make the final decision regarding off-campus status.
Subject to the availability of space, all first-year students are required to live in a residence hall for two academic semesters (a summer term does not count as an academic semester), unless they are married or live with parents and have permission to commute.
The acceptance rate at Franklin Pierce University is 78.3%. In other words, of 100 students who apply, 78 are admitted. This means the school is not selective. As long as you don't fall way below average, you'll likely get in.
About the Pierce College Residence Hall The Center for Global Scholars (CGS) is traditional campus housing for both domestic and international Pierce College students. CGS values both student independence and a student's need for community.
Can I still request roommates? If you have both been offered to the same building and room type, then you can mutually request one another on the housing application, and we should be able to assign you to the same room in August.
Incoming first-years do not choose their roommates. Instead, you fill out a very detailed survey, which asks students questions such as when do you sleep, what time do you wake up, how clean are you, what music do you listen to, and so on.
Roommates should be in the same class standing category (sophomores with sophomores, juniors/seniors with other upperclassmen and graduate students with other grads) and of the same gender. When selecting an assignment, who can I pull in to be a roommate? You can only pull in (assign) accepted roommates (see above).
If you do not have a specific person in mind, you can conduct an online search for potential roommates and be presented with possible matches based on the information provided in your Profile. You will be able to contact potential roommates and update your application to request them.
