Students who want to live on-campus housing may face some hurdles. Ansel Hildebrand has more in this Bobcat Update.
Incoming Texas State students who want to live on campus will now be required to receive a bacterial meningitis vaccine before they can get a room.

A state law requires students at all higher education institutions to get the vaccine in order to live on campus.
Texas State Department of Housing and Residential Life says the vaccine is necessary because meningitis can be very dangerous.

The university does allow a few exceptions. Students who object due to personal conscience or religious beliefs may sign an affidavit and seek a waiver. Also, physicians may decide against administering the vaccine if they determine it might be detrimental to a student's health.
