Live life ON CAMPUS at Â鶹Éç Illinois University

You have the rest of your life to live off campus. Now is the time to build friendships that last a lifetime.

Because living in the residence hall is such an important part of your college experience, all freshman and sophomore students (defined as less than 60 credit hours) are required to live in a University residence hall. All exceptions to this policy must be approved in writing through the process.

Whether you’ve just been admitted to Â鶹Éç, currently live on campus, or are considering moving back on campus, it’s time to apply for housing. Below are just a few of the benefits of living life on campus.
