Overview

A part of the Division of Student Affairs, University Housing is home to more than 8,400 students who live in nine residential communities comprised of 22 residence halls, University Village apartments, and Health Sciences Campus townhomes as well as four Greek Park houses. On-campus residents have unique opportunities to collaborate more, contribute more, connect more—and commute less. As a result, national studies consistently show that students who live on campus earn better grades, have higher graduation rates and report a higher level of satisfaction with their overall collegiate experience. To this end, University Housing is committed to its mission of providing comfortable, affordable and secure on-campus housing options in residential communities where the academic success and personal growth of residents are encouraged and supported. In support of this mission, University Housing employs more than 700 full and part-time employees within three comprehensive units – Administrative Services and Communications, Facilities, and Residential Programs and Services. As a self-supporting auxiliary, University Housing operates a $50 million budget derived only from student rent and other non-state sources. University Housing fosters a supportive and challenging inclusive environment through staff selection and training, community programming and contact with staff and students. Residents are part of a community that values and appreciates diversity and where individual rights and differences are recognized and respected.
