Living on Campus

  • Our housing facilities are new and we offer suite-style rooms with incredible amenities, such as laundry facilities you can track with your phone. We offer housekeeping services for your bathroom at no extra cost and parking is included with your stay.
  • A meal plan comes with your room, so come with an appetite because there is great food all around the UL Lafayette campus! Campus dining combines traditional meal options along with some Cajun flair.
  • Living in University housing gives you access to campus and community events right in your back yard. Enjoy festivals in Girard Park (which is connected to campus) and Downtown Lafayette (which is walking distance from campus). The University's Mardi Gras parade even rolls right outside your window.
  • We offer nine Living-Learning Communities. These residential communities for freshmen have a special emphasis on an academic major or an area of interest. Freshmen who participate have the unique experience of learning where they live while meeting friends with similar majors and interests, enjoying experiences and special events.

The residence halls are very new, very clean, very nice. A lot of people get suite style rooms, which are two person to one room. And some nice perks to the residence halls are free laundry, and they even have an app so it will tell you when your laundry is ready. So that's sweet. They have weekly housekeeping, so you don't worry about your bathroom.

There's such a variety of food options on and off campus. You can get anything from Chick-fil-a and Pizza Hut to Crawfish Etouffee and jambalaya. The meal plan is actually included in your room, so you're never going hungry when you live on campus.

When there's something going on campus, you never have to worry about how you're going to get there, because you're literally steps away. You can just walk. If I pull a late night studying or writing a paper, I can take those few extra minutes to sleep in because my class is 10 minutes away.

We have an amazing opportunity for our first-year students where they can live in the residence halls and be a part of a living-learning community. So these are small communities where students can make friends very quickly with other students that they have a lot in common with. For example, students who like the arts, they can live in Gateway To The Arts. And then they take classes together.

Building relationships has been just as easy as inviting people to go out to eat in the dining hall, or inviting someone to study together in the library, or the community room.
