Lincoln Park Apartments
In the Lincoln Park apartment communities, students enjoy larger spaces, more privacy and the convenience of their own living room and kitchen. Unlike traditional residence halls, the Lincoln Park apartment communities do not close during DePaul’s winter break, thus allowing students greater flexibility. Plus, apartments are fully furnished and feature cable, access to HBO Go, wireless internet and laundry facilities that do not require coins or card payments. Apartment residents also have the opportunity to participate in staff-organized activities throughout the academic year. Rates for the 2020-21 academic year will be released ~March 2020.

Selecting Roommates
If you have a roommate in mind:
- All intended roommates must have a Room Selection appointment.
- All intended roommates can attend the earliest appointment time of any person in the group. Those who cannot attend must use the proxy form available here.
- Roommate groups of five or more may contact Housing directly to potentially be assigned a space prior to their Room Selection appointment time.
If you are searching for a roommate:
- Utilize social media, particularly specific residence hall Facebook pages.
- Attend the Lincoln Park Campus open house or Loop Campus tour (dates to be announced in winter 2020) to meet those with similar housing interests.
If you don't have a roommate:
- No roommate, no problem. Housing will randomly assign roommates to partially filled spaces.
Cancellation
Housing Cancellation
If students are assigned to campus housing at Room Selection and need to cancel after being assigned but prior to the start of their housing agreement, then there is a $1,500 cancellation fee. Further charges are applicable once the housing agreement has started. Please see section 4 of the terms and conditions for the full cancellation policy.
Meal Plan Cancellation
Signing the housing agreement holds students to the meal plan terms and conditions. If a student cancels their housing agreement, the meal plan will be cancelled for any future quarters. Full meal plan terms can be found in section 5 of the 2019-20 terms and conditions.
If you cannot make your appointment
If you cannot attend your assigned Room Selection appointment, you may recruit a trusted friend (a proxy) to attend in your place by completing the proxy form. It is important to trust your proxy, as they will be selecting your space for the year and solidfying your commitment to campus housing.
Steps to take:
- Click here to download the proxy form and print it out.
- Fill out the proxy form. You will circle "Yes" or "No" for each of the housing options. You will only be assigned to preferences that are circled "Yes."
- Have your proxy bring the completed form with them to Room Selection.
