Housing Information
**IMPORTANT**
1) Please wait until you arrive at Mt. Olympus before you check in with SEVIS or your sponsor. SEVIS
requires you to add your room number to the address. You will not have this information until you
arrive at Mt. Olympus and are assigned to housing. If you do not have this information you may be
denied and this will cause problems getting a social security card.
2) When e-mailing, with any questions or concerns please include your full name as it appears on your
passport along with the country you live in.
3) When you arrive at Mt Olympus, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you know your correct HOME mailing
address including the POSTAL CODE of your country!!!!!!! This is important to receive your W-2 tax
forms at the end of the year.
4) *REMINDER* If you do not plan on staying in Mt. Olympus employee housing, you MUST let us know
immediately or you will be required to stay in our housing until the end of your contract. We don’t
have “couples” housing. If you would like to live as a couple you will need to find your own housing.
MT. Olympus Housing:
A cash deposit of US$300 and 2 weeks rent (US$154) is required at check in
This is a reminder of SOME of your responsibilities if you want to live in our housing. You are expected to
clean up after yourself and to keep housing clean. You are responsible for keeping your room clean and in
good condition, you are also responsible for all of the “common areas”…kitchen, hallways, outside areas. If
you leave food sitting around, you will have bugs in your room and in the kitchen. Housing will be checked
OFTEN…inside and outside. If you are not helping with the cleaning, you will be: 1) fined, 2) have your
working hours cut so that you have time to help with the cleaning, 3) moved to another location or 4)
kicked out of housing all together.
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE OVERNIGHT GUESTS IN YOUR ROOM!!!!! Any violation of this rule will
have you moved out of our housing. If you are moved or kicked out of housing, you lose your entire deposit!
ABSOLUTELY NO SMOKING IN HOUSING…BY STATE AND FEDERAL LAW!!!
If you feel that these basic rules (there are a lot more) don’t appeal or apply to you or that you can get
around them, FIND YOUR OWN HOUSING.
Hiawatha Residence Hall Housing: (Alternative housing)
A cash deposit of US$300 and 2 weeks rent (US$170) is required at check in
