RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS:
- Residents must be junior status (80 credits or more) to be eligible to reside in the Tower. No freshman can reside here unless they are international or non-traditional. You must live in the residence halls for 2 years (freshman/sophomore), but if your family resides within 50 miles and you have sophomore standing, you will be considered for residency. Transfer students must have at least 1 year of college before being considered for residency. If your roommate is a junior and you are a sophomore, we will consider your request for residency if you want to continue to be roommates. https://community.msoe.edu/docs/DOC-6311

- You can live on your own and pay the full price of the apartment (apts range in price from $1260 per month (studio) upwards to $3200 per month (2 bedrooms).
- Max of 2 people per studio or bedroom. The apt rental price would be split equally between residents. Each resident is solely responsible for their own rent and not the rent of their roommate(s).
- You can have a roommate reside with you at any time (if you start off on your own) as long as they are eligible to live here and are not breaking another on-campus lease to do so (ie: residence halls)
- If you do not have a roommate in mind, we will place you with a roommate (from the selection of students in a similar position as yourself).
- All leases go through May 31, 2017 unless you are graduating earlier than that date. You may renew your lease in the Spring of 2017 if eligible (behavior/payment history)
- You can have a shorter lease (if you are graduating in November or February).
GENERAL FACTS - Grohmann Tower Apartments:
- Was originally going to be a hotel (Staybridge Suites) but during the economic crisis 10 years ago it went bankrupt after being 70% complete. A donor, Dr. Grohmann, purchased it and invested over $38 million into the property. It is now valued at about $60 million.
- There are 155 apartments with about 20 different apt floor plans. For instance: studios are different in apts 1, 2-6, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14-19. One bedrooms are different in apts 7, 8, 11 and the upper floors. 2 bedrooms are different on lower floors to the upper floors.
- There are studios (majority of the apts), 1 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms. There are no studios on floors 11-14.
- Floors 6, 8, 10 are replicas, while floors 5, 7, 9 are replicas. Floor 4 is similar to 6, 8, 10. Floors 11-14 are upgraded apartment styles. Students can reside on 11 and 12, but 13 & 14 are reserved for faculty, staff, graduate student, and married student housing.
- The building can house over 300 residents, and we have had about 80 international students from various countries (India, China, Belarus, Russia, Spain, Guatemala, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Burkina-Faso, Nigeria, Thailand...to name a few).
- We have cameras throughout the complex and each floor is secured by card swipe. You need to swipe to get into bldg, onto the elevator, then onto the floor.
- There are two floors of parking available (2nd and 3rd) for an additional monthly cost.
- Floors 4-10 come furnished (bed, dresser, desk, chair, end table) along with a stove, refrigerator, microwave.
- Floors 11-14 are not furnished but have a larger stove, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and washer/dryer.
- All apts have AC and Heat which is controlled by the residents of that apartment.
- Cleaning supplies are provided for residents (for cleaning bathroom, kitchen, furniture, counters, floors)
- There are over $300,000 worth of painting on display throughout the Tower.
- There are only two full-time professionals in the building (building manager/maintenance). The building is staffed, cleaned, monitored, and maintained by upwards of 38 student staff members known as Tower Assistants.
- Tower Assistants handle daily cleaning, special project cleaning, furniture repair, painting, carpet cleaning, conference set-ups, trash removals, behavior/emergency response, snow shoveling, checking in/out of residents, tours, mail room, and office coverage. They get paid $9 an hour starting with a 50 cent raise each year. They are some of the highest paid student employees on campus.
Financial Credit Check:
- Our Student Accounts office will check your financial history (if any) with the University as the final stage in the approval process. In general, if you have a good payment history with the University, you should not have any difficulties. Otherwise advance payments may be required.
