Learn MoreVeteran Housing
The transition to a new city or community can be difficult. That's why the Office of Veterans & Military Resources has begun working with off-campus housing to help with your transition. We are now able to reserve housing for veterans, active duty, and reservists who are attending the University of Denver.
Currently on reserve we have two 2-bedroom units and three studio units. All are located on University property within walking distance of the Coors Fitness Center, Driscoll Student Center, and all DU classrooms. And because they're on University property, DU Campus Safety is just a phone call away.
