You are welcome to bring additional furniture with you, but don’t forget that all of our apartments are fully furnished. You are welcome to move the furniture around to best suit your preferences, however none of the furniture may be removed from the apartment. Most apartment types will include a bed frame, full-size XL mattress, desk, desk chair, soft seating, coffee table, television stand, dining table and dining chair.

Meal plans are not offered at SouthSide Commons, but you may obtain a meal plan from campus. Full kitchens are available in all of our apartments.

A co-signer or guarantor is not required. If a student (including international students) does not have a guarantor, or doesn’t want to use a guarantor, then a security deposit can be paid instead. A security deposit is equal to one installment and is refundable at the end of the lease term assuming there is no outstanding balances or damage to the apartment.

SouthSide Commons is a pet-friendly community! No more than one animal is permitted in a bedroom and no more than two animals are permitted in an apartment. Additional fees and restrictions will apply. Permission and approval must be given from the Leasing Office PRIOR to bringing a pet into your apartment.

You may request other Lehigh University students to live with, or use the RoomSync application if you need help finding roommates. RoomSync is only available in our 4x2 apartments. Otherwise, you will be randomly matched based on your application answers on compatibility and living habits. With our roommate matching service, we can easily accommodate you—even if you don't have anyone to live with or enough roommates to fill an apartment. We have partnered with RoomSync to provide a modern matching platform where residents choose their own roommates. After you complete the leasing process you will be emailed a link to join our RoomSync network. You will then log in to RoomSync using Facebook, create a matching profile, and begin your search to find your new best friend - or roommate for starters. If you already have a roommate in mind, you can confirm your roommate request within RoomSync.

As such, the permit is valid in the following parking areas: - 4 hour short term parking areas located on the Mountaintop campus - Goodman commuter parking lot at all times - Faculty/staff parking areas after 4:00 PM and on weekends
