Housing
http://www.housing.illinois.edu/
UIUC has twenty-two undergraduate and two graduate residence halls that are affordable and conveniently located. Students who are 19
years of age and older may choose to live in the graduate residence halls. Convenient computer labs, free cable TV, study areas and
laundry facilities are located on-site while classrooms are within walking distance. Because private landlords in Champaign-Urbana
almost always require a year’s lease, students are strongly encouraged to arrange for UIUC residence halls.
