Generally, November 1 to March 1, and June 1 to October 1 are considered the most desirable times to visit the campus to arrange for apartment accommodations for the first and second semesters, respectively. The University of Illinois maintains housing for single graduate students on campus. Each study room is furnished and connects with a complete bath shared with the residents of one or two other rooms. Single and double rooms are available. Cooking is not allowed in student rooms, but a contract for food service in nearby dining rooms can be arranged.
Residence halls have lounge facilities, laundry rooms, vending machines, and a computer lab.
Students must be admitted before they can sign a housing contract. Priority in assignment is determined by the date that the completed contract is received. Students should make housing arrangements well before the term begins. All units include a stove and a refrigerator. Convenient laundry facilities are available.
