Housing

Our 6,370-acre campus is nestled between the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana, often called "C-U". Here you'll find many housing options to suit your needs. Some neighborhoods are within walking or biking distance and many are accessible by public transportation. 

University Housing offers a variety of living options for graduate students via Graduate Upper-Division Residence Halls and University Apartments. 

• Three uniquely different apartment communities are available: University Apartments at Orchard Downs, Goodwin-Green, and Ashton Woods.  
• The graduate upper-division halls, Daniels Hall and Sherman Hall, offer welcoming, diverse communities, with great amenities and convenient locations. 

For those preferring off-campus living arrangements, privately owned housing is plentiful in Champaign and Urbana.

Contact the Off-Campus Community Living Office for resources about off-campus housing, including links to local utility companies and information about signing leases.
