Student Housing

Prospective Students

Living in the residence halls is an important part of your college experience at UConn! As a prospective student, you should make plans to visit the campus and take advantage of a campus tour from the Lodewick Visitors Center. On the tour you'll see a dining hall and a model residence hall room.

After you apply and are admitted to UConn, you need to pay the acceptance fee of $150.00. Once this fee has been processed, the University will send you a Net ID and information about how to set your password. This information is very important because with the Net ID you will have access to your HuskyMail (the university email system) and the On-line Housing Application. All students who are interested in living on campus must apply for housing in order to be assigned a space in a residence hall. The staff in Housing Services can answer all of your questions about the housing application process.

Thinking ahead about what it will be like to live in a residence hall can help ease the transition and avoid problems when you arrive at UConn for your freshman year. To start planning for your residence hall experience be sure to explore the links on this website. Of special interest for prospective students, the Community Living and Items to Bring pages have lots of helpful information. The On-Campus Housing Contract also provides important information you should review with your parents.

If you need more information or help understanding how to apply for housing, be sure to Contact Us and when you come to campus for your orientation session be sure to ask many questions. The New Huskies website is another great way to learn about joining the UConn Community!
