Quick Answer
Dual occupancy means more than one resident is permitted to occupy a bedroom within a select floor plan at INTRO Columbus. While traditional student housing leases are typically structured around one resident per bedroom, dual occupancy creates an opportunity for two residents to share a bedroom while each maintaining their own individual lease. Dual occupancy is only available in select floor plans at INTRO.

What Does Dual Occupancy Mean?

One Bedroom, Two Leases

Dual occupancy means more than one resident is permitted to occupy a bedroom within a select floor plan. While traditional student housing leases are typically structured around one resident per bedroom, dual occupancy creates an opportunity for two residents to share a bedroom while maintaining their own individual lease. Dual occupancy is only available in select floor plans at INTRO.

How The D2 Floor Plan Works

Built For Five

The D2 floor plan accommodates up to five residents across 1,384 square feet.

  • Three bedrooms are single occupancy
  • One bedroom is dual occupancy
  • The dual occupancy bedroom includes its own bathroom
  • Two single bedrooms share a bathroom
  • One single bedroom includes a private bathroom

Every resident signs their own lease and enjoys access to the same amenities, services, and community spaces available throughout INTRO. The D2 layout centers on an open kitchen and living area with in-unit washer and dryer, so residents share a true apartment living space rather than a dorm-style hallway.
