Campus Housing is home to students of all majors, backgrounds, interests, and academic class standing. Learn more about the benefits of Campus Housing below and see why we’re the right place to call home.

Students can apply once they are admitted to UIC. There is no deadline for applications, however, we do encourage interested students to apply as soon as they can if they have a specific residence hall preference, room type preference, or a roommate request.
