What is housing like at CU?
Although no one is required to live on campus, nearly all of our freshman will opt to live on North Campus, our designated residential campus for first-year students. Housing is guaranteed for the first two years; afterwards, students enter into a lottery for housing. Many students choose to live off-campus for sophomore, junior, and senior year, so there is generally plenty of on-campus housing available for those who would like to remain in the residence halls. Students living off campus usually live in local houses or apartments or in a fraternity or sorority house.
