The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga - Housing and Residence Life

UTC is dedicated to helping our students achieve the most from their college experience.

Living on campus gives students opportunities that can’t be experienced anywhere else. From living close to campus resources to a variety of room options to on-site maintenance staff, living on campus provides opportunities for growth, diversity and responsible living.

The Housing and Residence Life department consists of 10 on-campus complexes; two suite-style and eight apartment-style, all with a variety of shared and private spaces:

Boling

Decosimo

Guerry

Johnson Obear

Lockmiller

Stagmaier

Stophel

UC Foundation

Walker

West Campus

We are all members of the community!

OUR GREAT CITY

Chattanooga serves as a living laboratory for our students, and we depend on the community to provide real-world learning opportunities.

Nestled next to downtown Chattanooga, the UTC campus has perfect access to a thriving business environment. When class is over, students don’t have far to go to climb, glide, hike, camp, tube, float, explore, shop, eat, watch, kick back, and generally have a blast.

Surrounded by mountains, rivers and lakes, Chattanooga blends the adventure of outdoor life with the opportunities of a vibrant metropolitan center.

So pig out on Chattanooga-born Moon Pies and Little Debbie snacks. Quench your thirst with a Coca-Cola. See Rock City. Ride the Incline, the world’s steepest passenger railroad and visit the Chattanooga Choo Choo.

My favorite part about the RLC is getting to meet fellow engineering students that will become familiar faces in most of the classes you take. Especially as a woman in engineering, I benefitted a lot by being able to connect early on with other girls in the hall that are also in engineering.
