Returning Student Housing
With a two-year University housing requirement, the Housing Office continually strives to improve the residential living environment for all students through facility renewal and building upgrade projects.
Undergraduate students make up over 90 percent of the current on-campus residential population.
Room Selection takes place in March. Students should always monitor their Syracuse University email account to ensure they do not miss important information regarding Room Selection or other housing-related matters.
Second-year Students
Syracuse University’s two-year residency requirement means that all traditional first- and second-year students are required to live in on-campus housing. There are a variety of housing opportunities available for students living on campus ranging from singles, traditional double rooms, apartment-style, and suite-style living options.
Approximately half of the second-year students live in apartments on South Campus with the remaining 50% living in residence halls on North Campus.
Upperclassmen
Returning third- and fourth-year students are welcome to participate in the Room Selection process to select their on-campus housing or explore the option of moving off-campus.
Upperclass students are typically located in South Campus apartments, which offer spacious, comfortable living arrangements, providing the perfect balance of convenience and privacy. South Campus apartment residents enjoy the benefits of larger apartment sizes, more personalized living space, and independence, making it an ideal option for upper-class students.
