Overview of Graduate Housing

The University of Rochester has several graduate housing options available for students and their families in any University graduate program. University housing is limited and cannot be guaranteed for all those admitted into graduate programs at the University of Rochester.
Our communities encourage our residents and their families to become involved and celebrate the unique contributions each person can bring to this living and learning environment. There are many ways to participate—from potluck dinners to picnics, outings (such as apple picking) to biking, art classes to community gardening—with something for everyone at the level they wish to participate.
For more general information, check out our YouTube or Instagram.
