Explore Residence Halls
Howard residences reflect the diversity of our students.
Howard University has nine Residence Halls on campus and 2 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 identity and our continuing residence halls are available for all genders. Our current housing policy guarantees housing for all 1st-year freshmen and 2nd-year sophomores. Transfer students are prioritized each semester but must confirm housing availability at the time of receiving enrollment confirmation as beds may be sold out closer to the semester's start.
Each hall includes programming, helpful resources, and visitation during approved times. The hours for visitation are 12 p.m. - 11:59 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 12 p.m. - 12:59 a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Visitation typically opens one week after the close of registration each semester and is only open to Howard University students.
