HOUSING AND DINING


Housing

On Campus
As a freshman, you’ll live comfortably in residential housing. Washington University has 30 on-campus residential buildings that offer single, double and triple rooms as well as suites and apartment-style units. The living environments make it easy for you to live comfortably, study hard and build long-lasting friendships.

The South Outer 40 housing options offer recreational space, computer clusters and campus eateries, making them the perfect habitat for studying, relaxing, eating and connecting with your peers.

Residential Life’s North Side of the campus has three areas: the on-campus apartments, the Village and off-campus apartments that offer many amenities, including a game lounge, computer labs, classrooms, ample meeting and study areas, a café and a coffee shop. It is also home to fraternity housing. After your freshman year, you may choose to live off campus.


Off Campus
The possibilities are limitless and convenient. Among the 20 largest metropolitan areas in the United States, St. Louis ranks second in the most-affordable housing market. Our city has gracious neighborhoods and safe housing options.

Washington University owns and operates several apartment complexes specifically for graduate students. Most graduate students live in one of the many privately-owned apartments located within a 10-block radius of the school. Both furnished and unfurnished rooms, apartments and houses are available. We recommend you consult with Apartment Referral Service (ARS), a resource for University students, faculty and staff looking for apartments, duplexes, condos or houses. See Olin's Guide to the Washington University Community for resources and tips for getting settled in St. Louis. Several months in advance of the new academic year, you should contact:
