Definition of University Housing

University housing refers to all University residence halls, apartments, houses, duplexes and University-managed fraternity houses.
 

The University of Evansville guarantees residence hall rooms for all freshmen.  University policy requires all single freshmen recently graduated from high school and not residing with their parents, legal guardians or immediate family to live in University residence halls. Students may choose to seek other housing upon achieving sophomore status (30 semester hours).

All freshmen are required to live in traditional residence halls. Apartments, duplexes, and houses (the Villages) are available to upper-class students with 60+ hours.  Exceptions / modification to residency requirements are determined by the director of residence life.
 

Upper-classmen are welcome and encouraged to live on campus!  Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors make up over half of the total resident population in residence halls!  This makes for a positive mix of fresh ideas, peer mentoring and the passing down of community traditions! 

Villages apartments and houses are available to upper-class students with 60 or more semester hours. These units, located adjacent to the campus, are under the supervision of the assistant director of residence life and four resident assistants.

University-Managed Fraternities fall under the standard housing contract.  See Fraternity Housing for more.
