On-Campus Housing
On-campus residence halls have limited space and must be confirmed very early. For more information on application deadlines, visit living.colorado.edu/apply.
There are several apartment-style options available for transfer students that are operated by the campus, yet offer independent living solutions. Please visit living.colorado.edu/housing/living-options to view options for apartment-style on-campus living choices.
Graduate & Family Housing applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Students may apply for apartments any time of the year. (Please note: The Bear Creek Apartments have a January deadline for the following fall semester.)
Off-Campus Housing
Off-Campus Housing
Off-Campus Housing & Neighborhood Relations maintains an online housing database called Ralphie’s List. New and current students can create online accounts to find housing in Boulder and the surrounding areas. Students can also set up their roommate profile to search for other CU students to be roommates.
On-Campus Eating
On-Campus Eating
Living on or off campus, you can purchase meal plans that are accepted at several campus locations. Plans can be purchased by calling 303-492-6871 or visiting the Housing & Dining Services Office in the Center for Community (C4C S360). If you wish to use dining facilities but do not want to purchase a plan, Campus Cash can be loaded onto your CU Buff OneCard, which acts as a debit card at any of those locations. Campus Cash rolls over each semester, whereas meal plans do not. Campus Cash is non-refundable when you graduate.
Other options for food and drink include the many coffee shops or bakeries across campus, as well as several options in the University Memorial Center (UMC).
