The Residence Halls , consisting of 30 buildings and 2 million square feet, houses approximately 8,000 undergraduate students during the academic year and welcomes more than 18,000 conference and program guests each summer. In addition to living spaces, our operations support a wide range of programs and functions, including classrooms, office spaces, dining and culinary operations, marketplace venues, meeting rooms, and event spaces.
University Apartments provides housing to an average of 2,500 residents in 1,240 apartments, serving a diverse community of graduate students, staff, and their families.
