Places to Live
At DU, you have a variety of housing options, all within walking distance of class. While you must live on campus for the first two years, you may choose to stay after that for the convenience and community. From singles and doubles to suites and apartments, we have you covered.
But residence life is not just about room size and location. Housing & Residential Education staff will set you up to have fun together and will support you no matter where you live. And please check out DU's specialty housing. From Living & Learning Communities for First Years to the All-Gender and Collegiate Recovery Communities, there's a place for everyone.
Start by finding places to live by your school year or type of housing community.
