Accommodation details

All single freshmen students under 20 years of age must live in a University residence hall for the academic year except for those who have earned 24 or more hours of college credit in residence or have already lived in University residence halls for two academic semesters, specifically, the spring and fall semesters. CLEP, AP, or hours earned through concurrent enrollment or similar opportunities are not applicable. Exemption from this policy is by special permission only. There are the Towers that have semi-private bathrooms, the Quads with community bathrooms, and special interest housing offerings such as the Academic Arts Community (part of the Honors College), or the Global Community, the select residence hall community with a kitchen. Students can find just the right fit for them within an exceptional residential community of students and scholars. Since OU is one of only a few public universities in the nation with faculty families living in residence halls, students can even develop intergenerational friendships. Faculty in Residence and Resident Advisors organize events and activities for students in their residence halls, allowing students to meet other students as well as professors and staff from across the OU campus.
