University Residence Halls
The University provides residence hall accommodations for 2,000 students in nine residence halls. Brookman Hall and McFadden Hall are currently designated as graduate/professional buildings. Single rooms are guaranteed for graduate students living in these buildings. Brookman Hall provides single occupancy rooms in a traditional residence hall setting, while McFadden Hall offers a single room within a four-bedroom apartment. Each residence hall complex (two residence halls) is administered by a full-time Master’s level professional staff member, assisted by a graduate assistant and a staff of community advisors (C.A.’s) who live on each floor. The C.A.’s are responsible for educational programming, community development, policy enforcement, and providing general assistance to students. On a space-available basis, rooms are available for graduate, law, and medical school students. Assignments are made based on the date the residence hall application and deposit are received. Additional information may be obtained from the Office of University Housing at (605) 677-5663 or on campus at Slagle Hall, Room 50.
Family Housing
The University owns and operates thirty-eight one-bedroom unfurnished apartments for student families. Applications may be obtained from the Office of University Housing (605) 677-5663. Assignment of apartments will be made to applicants with the earliest date of application.
Off-Campus Housing
Vermillion offers a variety of rooms, apartments, mobile homes, and houses for rent to University students. The University is not responsible for off-campus housing and it is considered an entirely separate entity. However, the Temporary Student Center (TSC) staff maintains an on-line report of current listings. Students must make rental arrangements with the individual landlords. You can reach Off-Campus Housing by calling (605) 677-5334 or by visiting the Information Desk located in the TSC.
