You can log back into your application and change your answers/roommate preferences until May 15. Making changes won't change the initial application date we use when making assignments.

Grab your popcorn and start a watch party! 🍿 Housing Groups are a great way to bond with your neighbors over your favorite TV shows. What is your favorite TV show?

Did you know Comstock Hall is named after the first Dean of the Office of the Dean of Women? Her name was Ada Comstock, and she served from 1907 to 1912. One of the main duties of this office was to supervise the housing of female students. 

1940, Comstock Hall was built as an additional residence hall for women. It was built to house 274 women, containing single and double rooms. It also included its own recreation room! Social opportunities included dances, holiday dinner parties, musical groups, intramural sports and card games.

Housing & Res Life will have a table at the Info Fair during new student orientation this summer. The Info Fair occurs on Day 1 of orientation from 8-9:30 a.m. We’ll have representatives available to answer any questions you have about living on campus. Housing also holds info session presentations for students and families that cover everything you’ll need to know about preparing to live with us. Look for the session times and locations on your orientation schedule.

Happy graduation, Gophers! Your hard work and tenacity make the University of Minnesota the institution it is. We want to give a special shoutout to those who have stayed with us at Housing and Residential Life this year; we appreciate you and would love to see you back next year! Enjoy your summer!
