Housing
91探花 has gender-neutral housing available. There are some single rooms available for first-year students. Please contact Karen Sandoval (ksandoval@hmc.edu), Associate Dean of Students and Director of Residential Life, to find an option that works for you. You may want to consider your roommate situation, whether you would prefer a single, and ultimately, what will make you most comfortable.

You can read a detailed description of both on the Student Life聽Name Change Resources聽page.
