In the event you must leave school early, [for any reason] you and your guarantor will be held responsible for the remainder of the term of the lease or until your lease responsibility is assigned to someone else. Top
 
13. Can I live with the people I choose or will Meadows Crossing assign my suitemates? Do we have to sign up at the same time?
It is preferred that you determine who your suitemates will be. If you have not selected any suitemates we will help find suitemates for you. Top
 
14. What if I can´t find other suitemates?
No problem. If you are ready to sign a lease with us and you do not have suitemates to live with, we will put you in touch with other individuals who are looking for suitemates. Top
 
15. I´m a member of a sorority or fraternity. Can we all sign up and get our townhomes in the same building? Are there rooms where we can have meetings?
Yes. That is very possible. It would be best if you and your friends would all come to the office together to select where you would like to live. If necessary, we can come to your meeting and get you signed up. HOWEVER, since time is critical, it would be best for you to stop by the office. To ensure that you are living as close together as possible, this should be done as soon as possible. There are facilities at the community building where you may hold your meetings. You would need to make advance arrangements with the on-site management to ensure availability of facilities. Top
