On-Campus Housing
Transfer students are not required to live on campus, but if space is
available you can apply to live in a residence
hall. You will receive housing application forms and a pamphlet describing
the residence halls once you have been admitted to the university and
have confirmed your intent to enroll. Most residence hall assignments
are made on a first-come, first-served basis, so you are encouraged to
apply for housing as soon as possible after you confirm your enrollment.
The university also offers a variety of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom
furnished and unfurnished apartments for student families. The University
Family Housing Children's Center provides day care for the children of
university housing residents. For information, write the University of
Colorado at Boulder, Family
Housing Office, 1350 Twentieth Street, Boulder, CO 80302.
