Graduate Housing

THD Self-Service

Situated directly across from the main campus on Wilbraham Road, Gateway Village is a complex of 170 single story apartments owned and operated by Western New England University. Up to 55 apartments are designated as accommodations for graduate students. These apartments are clusters of contiguous units in a section of the complex. The balance of Gateway Village accommodates undergraduate students. 

Each apartment is furnished by the University and has a kitchen with a range, sink, refrigerator, and storage cabinets. Furnishings vary according to the size of the accommodations and number of occupants and typically include the following items: upholstered chair(s) and/or couch, a coffee table and end table(s), lamps, twin bed, night stand, bureau, bookcase, desk and desk chair, kitchen table and chairs. Residents must bring their own dishware, cooking utensils, cleaning supplies, etc. Each apartment has wireless internet access, and each resident student has access to XFINITY ON CAMPUS, our campus television provider. XFINITY ON CAMPUS requires a Roku device. For more information about our campus television, and other topics, visit our Living on Campus page.  

Each apartment is filled to the designated capacity. If two or more individuals wish to reside in the same apartment, each person must submit his/her own application, providing the name(s) of the preferred roommate(s). 

The size (square footage) of the living space, including the bedrooms, varies within each style/type of apartment. Apartments are air conditioned. Gateway Village also includes a laundry facility with washers and driers without charge for use.

To respect the privacy of current residents, we cannot provide the opportunity to view the interior of the apartments until June. Access at that time can be coordinated by reaching out to us at residencelife@wne.edu.

A number of current residents may choose to continue occupancy and are given advance opportunity to do so. This will determine how many spaces, and what spaces, are available for new residents. Assignments for new residents are made on a first come, first served basis. 

Graduate apartments on Gateway Drive, as well as Breck Place 13R and 13L and Breckwood Circle 155-167 are carpeted. The rest of the graduate area has tile flooring.

Gateway Village is within walking distance of all campus facilities, including the School of Law and Center for Sciences and Pharmacy, as well as a shopping plaza with stores that may serve a variety of needs. Additional shopping and services are readily available within approximately one mile of the campus.

Maintenance is provided by the Department of Facilities Management through an online work order system. However, daily upkeep of the living space is the full responsibility of the student(s) residing there. Each resident will be assigned a campus box number as their mailing address. Mail boxes are located in the Mail Room in the Campus Utilities Building (CUB). On-campus dining is available through a variety of voluntary meal plan options or pay-as-you-go debit arrangements on the student ID card.

Public Safety officers routinely patrol the campus by cruiser, on foot, and by bicycle, and there is a system of closed circuit televisions and emergency phones throughout the campus. Vehicular traffic to and from the complex is monitored by a security gate that is activated by a student’s ID card. The department also oversees parking and traffic on campus.

An efficiency or one bedroom apartment may accommodate a married couple or domestic partners if space is available. Space in efficiency and one bedroom apartments is always very limited for new incoming students, so any new student interested in having their spouse or partner live with them should contact Housing and Residence Life as soon as possible to inquire about availability. Please note: there is an additional charge for a spouse or partner.

Non-university affiliated partners will need to receive a background check and be approved by the university prior to moving on campus. Please note that this process could take up to 4 weeks. Please direct all requests to residencelife@wne.edu. 

Apartments with multiple bedrooms are intended for students of the same gender unless students request to live in Gender Inclusive Housing. For more information on our gender-inclusive housing options for graduate students, please contact Housing and Residence Life at residencelife@wne.edu.  

University housing is unable to accommodate children or other family members at this time.

Information about APPE rotation housing will be posted here as soon as it is available.
