Living On Campus

Living on campus is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy University life at its fullest.

Living on campus opens a world of interaction with other students, faculty, and staff members in many social, developmental, and academic activities. It’s a special time of learning and maturing; a time to be a member of the University family.

Guide to Living On Campus

This guide includes much of the information future and current residents need to know about living in on-campus housing.

What to Expect

Each residential college has resident faculty members, student affairs professional staff members, and student staff who live in the residential college and serve as resources for resident students.

Residential Communities

The University of Miami offers undergraduate on-campus housing in five residential colleges and University Village, which is comprised of seven apartment buildings.

Applying for Housing

All students apply for housing and make payment arrangements for the housing prepayment via CaneLink. The "UM Housing" link is available on the CaneLink homepage (not from the "Student Center"), and a $500 prepayment (payable by credit card) is required to complete the application.

Move-In/Move-Out Information

In order to have a successful and stress-free move-in or move-out experience, students are asked to follow our policies and procedures.

Housing Rates

All rates are set and approved by the University Board of Trustees. Rates for the following academic year are typically updated late in the Spring semester after approval by the Board of Trustees.
