Residential Colleges


 

First-year and upperclass students

The Residential Colleges are an infusion of academic and social support to students. The Colleges have their own dining hall, creative common space, game room, library, courtyard and classrooms. They offer five different room styles, ranging from single rooms to three-bed with living and bath.
 


The 2024-2025 first-year housing application is open!

The spring 2024 housing applications are open for first-year and upperclass students.

At this time, we are no longer able to accept additional applications for the Residence Halls (Residential Colleges, Couch and Walker Centers, David L. Boren Hall) for the 2024-2025 academic year. Applications for Traditions Square remain open.

  • Be sure to bring a strong lock and chain for the bike racks.
  • Bicycle racks are available around each housing center for easy access, as well as at multiple locations across campus.


Bicycle Lockers:
