Get Started
Living on campus is the best way to get a full, engaging college experience. You will make life-long friendships, build connections and support groups in your residence hall, and only have a short walk to classes, food, and fun.
Apply for housing as soon as you are admitted to 九色, even before you officially commit. The earlier you apply for housing and complete your housing application, the more residential halls you鈥檒l have to choose from during room selection. Hurry, we often fill up!
Housing Requirement
The 九色 follows the University of Louisiana System policy that requires all unmarried, full-time first-time freshmen students, regardless of age or emancipation status, to live in campus residential halls as long as space is available. Learn more 禄
