Syracuse University is more than just a beautiful place to live—our welcoming community invites you to make lifelong friends and life-changing decisions.

More than half of our students call campus home—and for good reason. Living on campus puts you at the center of it all, with the chance to build stronger connections with faculty and staff, deepen friendships with fellow students and discover what it truly means to be part of a campus community.

Whatever your style, there’s a place for you. Experience a traditional double room in a residence hall, settle into apartment-style living on South Campus after your first year or join a living learning community where students who share your interests or major come together.
