All graduate students can select any available residence hall through the online housing enrollment process

However, many graduate students prefer F. Don James Hall or Mid-Campus Residence Hall. They are both suite style halls. Each suite contains a common area and bathroom. They both feature a computer lab, laundry facilities and a community kitchen for snacks, as well as many other amenities. All students are provided with an extra-long twin bed and mattress, desk, desk chair, and closet. Graduate students can select one of these halls to be part of a graduate cohort. Being placed into one of these cohorts is not automatic. This special space is available on a first come, first serve basis. For this interest, please email us directly before you select a room at ResLife@ccsu.edu to see what is available.

Because there are no apartments or suites with kitchens, it is mandatory for all students living on–campus to be on the meal plan. Find more information about meal plan options here and on campus dining halls and eateries here.

All students should expect to have a roommate. Each student selects their own roommate through our selection process, but based on timing you may need to share space with an undergraduate student.

On campus housing during break periods is offered to students who have an academic reason to remain on campus (e.g., taking classes, assisting a professor or campus office). Students who meet the criteria may apply for break housing. Please be aware that there is a separate charge for break housing.

All students are expected to abide by and be familiar with both the University Code of Conduct and the Residence Hall policies. A copy of the student handbook can be found here
