My friend wants to apply, can we room together in housing?
Yes! We have had many friends, siblings, and cousins apply at the same time and share a room in our housing. It's a win win for both if us.
I'm married or have a partner and need housing with my spouse.
In order for partners/spouses to be considered for housing, they both must work for our company. We have very limited housing options for couples so we recommend you apply early for the best chance of securing housing.
