Howard residences reflect the diversity of our students
Howard University has nine Residence Halls on campus and five University sponsored 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 Campus Apartments and other off-campus management partners with additional facilities support from REDCAM.
Are most residence halls single-gender and for undergraduate students?
- Traditionally, our first-year residence halls are single-gender and our continuing residence halls are gender-neutral both for Undergraduates only. We highly suggest Graduate students look at The Oliver and Howard Manor located on campus.
Who is guaranteed housing?
- Housing is guaranteed for first-year freshmen (First Time In College Fall 2025) and second-year sophomores (First Time In College Fall 2024) with continuous enrollment. Transfers are not included but are eligible and encouraged to apply.
Who is required to live on campus?
- All first-year freshmen and second-years are required to live on campus and any exemptions must be submitted via the exemption form.
What if I don’t receive housing in the application process?
- Those that do not receive housing in the application process should review resources on our off campus housing page.
Is the meal plan required?
- All students in any residence hall are required to have a meal plan.
- First-Year and Second-Year Requirement: All first and second-year students residing on campus must have a meal plan (not based on credit hours or residence hall placement).
- Third-Year and above in housing are required to have a meal plan but have the additional option of block 75 or dining dollars only.
