Your University, Your Home

Living in on-campus housing is the best way to get the full Coyote experience. You'll be fully immersed in campus life – only a short walk away from everything from your classroom buildings to the Wellness Center. You'll explore opportunities to meet new people, create lasting relationships and experience what it's like to be a Coyote. 

Our University Housing team is here to provide the support and resources you need to succeed. We're excited you're joining us to live the #YoteLife.

We do not have family housing available at this time.
