Welcome URI Students

University of Rhode Island students are invited to live, learn, and connect in our on-campus residential communities.  We welcome the opportunity to provide our students with a home away from home that is convenient and immediately accessible to all resources and activities offered on the Kingston campus. 

The Department of Housing and Residential Life strives to provide safe, secure, and well maintained living accommodations.  We seek to create residential communities within which students will succeed academically and demonstrate a shared respect for the personal rights and human dignity of all community members.  We offer residential  programs that support and cultivate individual wellness and development, campus involvement, diversity and inclusion, ethical and responsible choices, and pride in the University of Rhode Island.

Housing and Residential Life (HRL) operates 22 undergraduate residence halls, 4 graduate and undergraduate apartment complexes, and the Rainbow Diversity House.  We offer several first year living and learning communities (LLC) as well as the Health Sciences House in Wiley Hall and the CELS House in Garrahy Hall, both upper class theme communities.  Approximately 5000 students are currently housed in these residences.  Housing and Residential Life works closely with the Office of Student Life in supporting Greek life in the 14 fraternity and sorority houses located on campus.  Additionally, we provide liaison support to the Women in Leadership theme house and the two International Engineering Program theme houses currently located on Upper College Road. 

This residential network provides many great options for on-campus student living at URI.  Whether it is in a standard residence hall, a living and learning community, theme house, fraternity or sorority, or student apartment, we invite you to experience the living and learning experience of a lifetime at URI!

If living off-campus in a nearby community is your preference, link to the Commuter Housing Office rental listing web site.
