HOUSING & RES pdx.edu/housing
One of the best ways to experience PSU is to live in one of our residence halls. First year students who live on campus are part of a First Year Experience (FYE) community. You will live exclusively among students who are in a similar place in their lives—transitioning from high school to university. All of our first year housing options are furnished with a dresser, desk, desk chair, and bed for each resident. All utilities and high-speed internet are included.
