Specialty Housing and Accessibility
We strive to accommodate our students’ residential experience in a way that best serves their educational and cultural experiences. Keep reading to learn more about our specialty housing options.
Living Learning Communities
Living Learning Communities (LLC) are residential communities of students who share a common interest, and they’re incredibly popular. Each community has dedicated a professional staff member as well as student staff members. Staff and faculty work to develop an intentional cocurriculum based on the theme of each LLC, and work with student staff living on the floors to create an experiential community.
Housing for Students with Disabilities
In collaboration with the Office of Disability Resources and Services (DRS), a broad range of housing options have been reserved for eligible students.
Gender-Inclusive Housing
Our students’ needs are diverse and University Housing and Residential Life’s mission is to develop a residence hall environment that is positive, respectful and inclusive for all residents. Gender-inclusive housing is a strictly opt-in housing accommodation, and students must expressly state their desire for this type of housing.
On-Campus Housing Selection Process and Meal Plans
Housing is on a first-come, first-served basis. While all students who commit to Temple by May 1 are guaranteed on-campus housing, earlier paid deposits receive preference during the online housing selection process.
How to Secure On-campus Housing
Once you submit your enrollment and housing deposits through your TUportal, you can self-select your top choices of housing options. You can also pick a meal plan at the same time—all new students living in University Housing are required to purchase a meal plan.
