University-Owned Housing
The university offers a variety of student housing options. Students typically progress toward more independent living from year to year.
Quinnipiac housing is required for three years for incoming first-year students. Approximately 5,000 students live in university housing, which includes traditional residence halls, suites, apartments, and off-campus houses.
First-year students are offered a variety of living options: Irma, Dana, Commons, Ledges and The Grove are traditional residence halls with two to four people to a room and a community bathroom; Mountainview is a suite-style residence hall with each suite consisting of four double-occupancy rooms, a shared common room and a suite bathroom.
Sophomores choose between suite-style housing offered in the Village, the Suites (Larson, Perlroth and Troup), Mountainview or apartments in the Hill, and the Complex (Founders, Sahlin and Bakke). The units in Village and the Hill feature three double-occupancy bedrooms, with a limited number of two- and four-bedroom units in the Village. The units in the Suites feature three or four double-occupancy bedrooms. The units in Founders, Sahlin and Bakke feature one double-occupancy bedroom and two single-occupancy bedrooms.
Juniors and seniors may select from available apartment-style housing in the The Hill, Founders, Crescent, Townhouses, Westview or off campus at Whitney Village. Apartments provide one to four bedrooms, a furnished living room, an oversized bathroom and a kitchen.
Seniors and some juniors may also select from available apartment-style housing at Eastview and university-owned houses. Most of the bedrooms in senior housing are singles. Students living in university-owned houses are minutes away from the Mount Carmel and York Hill campuses.
Graduate housing is available on a limited basis in apartments at Whitney Village.
