New South Campus Residence Hall Opens in Autumn, 2009

The new South Campus Residence Hall and Dining Commons construction projects are well under way and will open in the Autumn quarter of 2009. Please click here to see a PDF of a flyer with additional information about these exciting new additions to the House System.

Undergraduate housing at the University of Chicago is provided through the University House System, comprised of 38 Houses in 10 residence halls. The House System plays an important role in a student’s academic and social adjustment to the College. The residential dining program provides flexible meal plans that bring the community together to dine at House Tables in three dining commons and several retail locations

Houses serve as a "home base" for students; places where they can relax, study, and spend time with friends. Each House has designated tables located in one of the three residential dining commons where students can gather outside of the residence hall. These "House Tables" provide a space in which House community members share meals, engage in academic debate, and socialize with friends. The average House size is 70 residents, with the smallest Housing having 36, and the largest housing 104 residents. All Houses have a Resident Head (RH) or an RH couple.  Resident Heads have an affiliation with the University as an advanced graduate student, faculty, or administrative staff member. Each House also has at least one Assistant Resident Head (RA); an upperclass College or graduate student. Except Stony Island, all the residence halls house students from all four class years
