Residential Communities

Focused on student success, living in a residential college offers residents the opportunity to engage in a wide variety of programs and events with particular emphasis on intellectual engagement, community living, campus connections, and personal development.

Housing & Residential Life offers on-campus housing in four residential colleges as well as Lakeside Village and the University Village for over 4,000 University of Miami undergraduate students. All non-local first-year students are required to live in university housing for two academic semesters, as long as space is available, with the exception of those who live with their parents or guardians within Dade or Broward counties.

HRL takes great pride in its program and does its very best to maintain an environment conducive to learning and positive well-being. Offering fully furnished single and double rooms in all facilities, each room and apartment bedroom is air-conditioned and equipped with a bed, dresser, desk, chair, trash can, recycling container, and window coverings.
