Living On Campus

For many new students, living in one of UCF’s residence hall is a convenient and community-focused choice. While freshmen are not required to live on campus, many choose to do so to familiarize themselves with UCF’s campus. Residence halls offer a range of layouts, from traditional shared rooms with shared bathrooms to more modern suite-style setups. They will come furnished, but furnishings are limited to a twin bed, desk and chair and no kitchen.

It’s worth noting that residence hall contracts typically align with the academic year, and the buildings close during holiday breaks. If you plan to stay in Orlando over the summer or during holidays, an off-campus option will work better.


Living Off Campus

If you’re looking for more independence or want more space, Sterling Quadrangle is the place for you.

Enjoy amazing amenities such as a Resort Style Pool, 2 Story Fitness Center, Jumbotron, Social Lounge, Study Rooms, and Coffee Bar. Each room will be fully furnished with a full mattress, bedframe, desk, chair and stackable dresser. Shared common area will include a sectional, chair, coffee table, tv stand and 55 inch smart TV. Kitchens feature brand new stainless steel appliances, quarts counters, and soft close cabinets.
