UIUC Residence Halls

University Residence Halls at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are housing residence halls for students to live in. The university requires all first-year undergraduate students (who do not commute) to stay in either the University Residence Halls or in University Private-Certified Housing. Both programs are administered by the university's housing division. University housing for undergraduates is provided through twenty-two residence halls in both Urbana and Champaign. All undergraduates within the university housing system are required to purchase some level of meal plan, although they are free to eat elsewhere if they choose. Graduate housing is usually offered through two graduate residence halls, restricted to those over twenty years of age, and through two university-owned apartment complexes. Disabled students are provided special housing options to accommodate their needs.

University Private-Certified Housing

There are a number of private residence halls around campus, as well as a few houses that are outside of the Greek system and offer a more communal living experience. The private residence halls tend to be more expensive to live in compared to other housing options. Private-certified residences maintain reciprocity agreements with the university, allowing students to move between the public and private housing systems if they are dissatisfied with their living conditions.

Some undergraduates choose to move into apartments or the Greek houses after their first or second year. The University Tenant Union offers advice on choosing apartments and the process of signing a lease.

Graduate Housing

*Daniels Hall
* [http://www.housing.uiuc.edu/options/grad/sherman.htm Sherman Hall] :Sherman Hall was formerly a graduate student residence hall. In the '05-'06 school year, overcrowding in the rest of the undergraduate residence halls led to Sherman Hall being opened to anyone who was not an incoming freshman. Currently, Sherman Hall houses international students, undergraduates, and graduate students. Unlike most undergraduate residence halls at UIUC, undergraduate students who live here are not required to have a meal plan due to the fact there is no cafeteria in Sherman Hall.
