All single, new freshman students who will not have reached their 21st birthday by September 1, and who are not residing with their parents or legal guardians, or are not the custodial parent of a dependent child, must live in University residence halls as long as space is available.
If you try to apply later in our process, the dorms may be full. New students are not required to live on campus and housing is not guaranteed.
With a few exceptions, all rooms and suites are designated by birth gender for roommates/suitemates. A residence hall floor, cluster (Patterson) or entire building will have all genders present.
Residence halls offer on-campus housing and meal plans for all students. Entering freshmen are required to live in these halls. Learn more about signing up for on-campus housing.
A Roommate Agreement is a written contract between roommates that outlines their rights and obligations while living together. This agreement includes house rules, maintenance duties, restricted behaviors, and more. For a Roommate Agreement to be useful, everyone sharing the household must agree to it.
To request a roommate, both you and your preferred roommate (requests must be mutual) need to go to My UW Housing and complete the following: Either create a roommate group for your roommate(s) to join or join the roommate group your preferred roommate has already created.
All incoming first-year undergraduate students are required to live on campus. Living on campus for at least your first year is a significant advantage that contributes to your success at the University of Oregon.
