Housing & Residence Life

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.

WHY LIVE ON CAMPUS?

There are so many reasons. Getting to live in downtown Portland. Walking distance to class. Five minutes from a million late-night snack options. Here are a few more:

CONVENIENT AND COST-EFFECTIVE // You’re a short walk to faculty offices and campus resources. No commuting or parking necessary—take public transportation to run errands and explore the city. No separate utility bills— electric, water, gas and wireless internet are included in your campus housing costs. We make payment easy, you can set up a payment plan option in your student account.

ACADEMIC SUPPORT // Students who live on campus have higher GPAs and are more likely to graduate on time. This is because students have access to in-hall, afterhours academic support, and are integrated into a large campus support network.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT // You will meet PSU students from all over the world, Our residents come from Portland, out of state and other countries. We help you build community by organizing over 400 regular residence hall activities and events each year!

Each studio in the building has a private bathroom either in-unit or shared with the adjacent unit. This building has it all: classrooms, a convenience store, a television lounge, building parking option, University Success for after-hours academic support, and free printing.
