Howard residences reflect the diversity of our students
Howard University has nine Residence Halls on campus and two Residence Halls off campus in private apartment complexes. Each residence hall has 24/7 controlled entry, laundry facilities, and other amenities. The halls are managed by our Campus Apartments and WISH partners with additional facilities support from REDCAM.
Traditionally, our first-year residence halls are single-gender and our continuing residence halls are gender neutral. Please note housing is only guaranteed for first-year freshmen and second-year sophomores that complete the housing application. All first-year freshmen and second-years are required to live on campus and any exemptions must be submitted via the request process. Those that do not receive housing in the application process should review resources on our off campus housing page.
Always contact your Resident Assistant, Graduate Assistant, and Building Manager first. They can answer your questions most efficiently.
