At UB, we make it as easy as possible to apply for official on-campus housing. You are guaranteed housing as long as you follow the application process and submit your housing deposit (and, for new and transfer students, your tuition deposit) by the deadline.
Please view the Before You Apply page in order to understand the full housing application process.
Please note that most housing agreements are for the academic year, while some apartments are available for full-year housing.
Fall housing for new and incoming students is assigned based on the date you submit your tuition and housing deposits. If you make the deposits separately, the later deposit date will be used. If you apply after the deposit window has closed, you will be directed to apply for a spot on the waiting list.
UB offers many different types of housing, from traditional dormitory-style rooms to on-campus apartments (some of which offer full-year housing agreements). Your eligibility to live in each of these communities depends on a number of factors, including your high school graduation date. Current UB students are given first preference to select apartments, so availability for new students is limited in these areas.
Within five business days of submitting your housing and tuition deposits, you will be emailed instructions on how to enter your housing preferences online. At UB, you will have an opportunity to specify your preference for room type, location, roommate, special interest communities and accommodation requests. You may update any of your preferences until May 15.
This deposit is a pre-payment toward your upcoming housing charges. It guarantees you the opportunity to receive on-campus housing for the fall semester. If you apply after the deposit window has closed, you will be directed to apply for a spot on the waiting list.
Want to stay in your current room or apartment? Students in eligible locations will also be able to renew their current space for the upcoming year when making a deposit. If you renew your housing during this step, you’re all set for next year. Please note that not all spaces are renewable, and that new roommates may not be pulled in during this process.
