Campus Housing

At Catholic University, your residence hall is key to getting the most out of your student experience. It's more than just a place to live. It's a place to learn, grow, and form lifelong friendships. Our on-campus housing options are designed to enhance your student experience and help you develop academically, spiritually, and personally. 

Look Inside Our Residence Halls

Our residence halls aren't just beautiful on the outside, but are full of energy and life on the inside. Take a peek and explore the possibilities of campus living. 

The window seats in Gibbons triple rooms, with the Basilica as their background, provide picturesque extra seatings when friends come over and chat.
Many students hang flags representing their interests on the walls of their dorm rooms, like this Centennial Village double room.
Fitted with furniture, a kitchen, a television, and other items, residence hall common spaces, like this lounge, are popular spots to study, cook, or spend time with friends.

Common Questions

A standard room contains an extra-long twin size bed, desk, desk chair, dresser, and wardrobe or closet, and one ethernet connection per person. One cable connection is provided per bedroom except in Millennium North and South where one cable connection per suite or apartment is provided. Beds can be lofted to stand 30" high, so that storage containers, including most dressers, may be stored underneath. Apartments may have additional furniture for use in the shared space, as appropriate. 

Catholic University recognizes the benefits on-campus living has to offer to our students in terms of academic success, personal development, and involvement within the campus community. As such, Catholic University requires all freshman, sophomore, and junior year students to live in on-campus housing. 

No, undergraduate students at Catholic University live in single sex residence halls. Opus Hall is single sex by wing. Coupled with programs directed toward students' personal, spiritual, and moral development, single sex housing fosters an environment of virtuous living consistent with the Catholic intellectual tradition.
