The Flatts Salisbury is a privately operated off-campus apartment community.

SU students should separately confirm that their housing choice complies with the university’s residency requirements.

Students with an approved exemption from Salisbury University’s two-year residency requirement may lease at The Flatts Salisbury, subject to the community’s application and qualification requirements. SU generally requires freshmen and sophomores to live on campus. Students subject to that requirement should obtain approval through SU Housing and Residence Life before signing a private off-campus lease. Signing a lease does not itself waive the university’s requirement.
