IU Housing

What to consider when moving on campus

Here's what to consider when choosing which residence hall you want to live in:

1. Neighborhoods – Think about how you want to navigate getting to and from your residence hall to class and activities. There are three neighborhood options: northwest, central, and southeast.
2. Room types – You can request to be assigned to a single room to live alone or a double room to be assigned a roommate. There are other options available such as a triple or apartment, too.
3. Roommates – If you don't have a selected roommate, you can be assigned a roommate. If you have a roommate preference, your housing preferences and your priority group should be the same as your selected roommate.
4. Learning Communities – There are two types of learning communities: Living-Learning Centers (LLCs): which are academic-themed communities and Thematic Communities: which are built on shared interests.
5. Cost of Housing – There are two options: standard with air conditioning and enhanced. There are more standard with AC spaces on campus.
