Right at Home

Purdue will become your student’s home for the next few years. There are a number of options for your Boilermaker to call home while attending Purdue.

University Residences

housing.purdue.edu (765) 494-1000 Freshmen don’t have to live on campus, but most do. With a number of living options, there is a place for everyone. Organized floor events, study groups, intramural sports — residential life provides a safe environment with opportunities galore. Students who live in a residence hall earn better grades, have more leadership opportunities, and increase their chance of graduating in four years.

The residence halls offer many amenities to students including wireless internet, free utilities, and a convenient website for students to submit maintenance issues, purdue.edu/fix-it.

Fraternity, Sorority and Cooperative Life

purdue.edu/fscl (765) 494-5990 Purdue boasts one of the nation’s largest Fraternity, Sorority and Cooperative communities, with over 6,000 students holding membership in over 90 organizations.

Purdue’s fraternities and sororities are grouped into four councils, and the recruitment process varies by council. The cooperative houses all participate in one process together. For more information on the individual organizations, check out their pages under the Prospective Members tab on their website.

Off-Campus Housing

purdue.edu/odos/offcampus (765) 496-1841 Purdue Off-Campus Housing is here to help make students’ off-campus living experience the best it can be. They provide information, resources and links so students and their families can easily navigate around Purdue and West Lafayette.

Students who live off campus are encouraged to attend a Landlord/Tenant Law Symposium held each semester by Student Legal Services. They will provide tips on signing a lease, talk about security deposits and how to discuss issues with their landlord. More information on Student Legal Services can be found later in this publication.
