Residence Life and Housing Information

On-campus Housing

On-campus housing availability for transfer students differs depending on which semester you will be transferring to the U of M.

Fall semester provides little in the way of on-campus housing for transfer students. You will likely need to look into off-campus housing.

If you are looking for spring semester on-campus housing, your chances of getting into a residence hall are better. You will need to contact Housing and Residential Life to put your name on a wait-list.

Planning to get a jump on your coursework by attending summer classes? There are several summer term on-campus housing options available through the Office of Housing and Residential Life.

Off-campus Housing

Off-campus housing is the route you will likely have to take if you are looking for housing in the fall. If you would like to live in an apartment, find a roommate, or rent a room or efficiency, you can start by exploring the off-campus housing site maintained by the Office of Housing and Residential Life.

In addition to reading the "Off-campus Housing Guide" on the Housing and Residential Life website for information about your rights and obligations as a renter, the Minnesota Attorney General's office posts a "Landlord and Tenant's Rights and Responsibilities Handbook" on their website. Be informed before you sign your lease!
