Hi, Is it advisible to get housing from the university as a freshman vs getting one apartment near campus? What would be pros and cons If I decide to get housing away from university for my son? Thank you
Unless the student actually lives in Champaign/Urbana area and is residing at his family’s residence while attending college, a freshman is required to stay in either one of the UIUC residence halls on campus (to begin exploring see https://housing.illinois.edu/Living-Options/Residence-Halls/Undergraduate-Halls), or one of the UIUC approved private certified housing halls just off campus (see https://certified.housing.illinois.edu).
