Approximately 1 in 3 of all incoming firstyear students live in Campus Housing and statistics show that a UIC student who lives on campus their first year is almost twice as likely to graduate in four years than a student who doesn’t live on campus. Campus Housing also offers options and locations that are popular with sophomores, juniors, seniors, and even those seeking advanced degrees. Proximity allows greater access and utilization of student resources for students living on campus. Campus Housing works to create positive living and learning environments that enable academic success through the application of Living and Learning Communities (LLC’s), faculty interaction through our Faculty in Residence (FIR) program, and live-in Residence Life staff that provide relevant academic information, study skills development, and other resources to navigate the UIC environment.
Meals can be purchased by using a meal plan, Flames Fare, Dragon Dollar$, credit card, or cash. Meal plans, Dragon Dollar$, and Flames Fare are all tied to a student’s I-Card, but each works at specific locations. Students living on campus in the Academic & Residential Complex (ARC), Courtyard (CTY), Commons West (CMW), Commons North (CMN), and James Stukel Towers (JST) residence halls are required to purchase a meal plan. dining.uic.edu
