Housing

Where do first-time, first-year students live?

First-time undergraduate students are required to live in one of the university's residence halls for their first two years. Around 5,000 students are housed in 39 residence halls located on four geographic residential campuses (Athletic, Central, North and Redstone campuses). All residential options are within walking, biking or shuttle ride to all other parts of UVM's campus.

Where do transfer, graduate, medical and non-traditional students live?

Many on- and off-campus housing options are available for these important segments of the UVM population including returning, transfer, graduate and non-traditional students.

• All UVM-affiliated housing is overseen by the Department of Residential Life.
• If you prefer to go your own way, plenty of opportunities exist to rent or purchase in and around Burlington. Several places to get started include:
  • UVM's rental database (note: If you are an incoming transfer student, register to use this database as a guest.)
  • UVM's Off-Campus Living Survival Guide (PDF)
  • Office of Student and Community Relations

What's it like to live on-campus?

What can be better than living with your new friends? Here's the low-down:

Traditional residence halls

Rooms may be doubles, suites, triples and, occasionally, singles. Telephones, cable and computer network hookups are standard equipment, along with beds, dressers and/or stand-up closets. You'll find study areas, kitchen facilities and recreation lounges just steps away.

Need help? Professional staff, as well as student resident advisors, are on-call seven days a week for general assistance or emergencies.

Residential learning communities

If you've ever thought it would be nice to engage in your social or intellectual passion where you live, consider this: Global Village, GreenHouse, Health & Wellness, UVM's Honors College, and other communities like these are designed to engage the whole student, tying together the intellectual, ethical and social aspects of college life. Application or invitation are required to dwell. Learn about these and other options by visiting the Residential Learning Communities website.

Special-interest communities

If you've ever wanted to live with people who share your interests or lifestyle, consider a community like Kosher Cottages, Live Music, Outdoor Experience Program, Quiet Lifestyle, Living and Learning Center programs (like creative and performing arts, diverse cultures, wellness, professional interest and more). Applications required to dwell.
