Housing
Welcome to Chicago State University Office Housing & Residence Life (HRL). Here at
Chicago State University we strive to provide a residence experience enriched with
diverse living and learning experiences. We achieve this by providing academic, social,
cultural and personal developmental support through programing and student engagement.
Our Residence Hall is a three-story coeducational building that houses approximately
330 students in suite-style living. Our hall provides spacious living quarters, three
lounge spaces; for studying, programming & fun. The hall also has an on-site laundry
facility equipped with state of the art coin-less washers and dryers, as well as a
24-hour computer lab with printing capability for your late night studying needs.
With 150 double rooms, we provided a room with adjoining bathrooms and 24 single rooms
with private baths; in addition, ADA rooms are available. Each room comes furnished
with beds (frame and mattress), dressers, desks, chairs, closet space, cable and phone
connection, as well as Ethernet and Wi-Fi access. All rooms are equipped with smoke
& heat detectors and water sprinklers for your safety. All suites are equipped with
units for controlling air and heat operation. In the center of the Residence Hall,
you will find our landscaped courtyard with trees, flowers, greenery and grills, great
for warm Chicago days
You will find that our Residence Hall is staffed 24-hours a day, by professional and
student staff The main entrance to the building welcomes you with our friendly residence
hall staff ready to assist with your housing and campus questions and concerns. Our
front desk has video surveillance to assist with our efforts in providing a safe and
secure community and we are proud to be one of the safest campuses in the city of
Chicago.
During the academic year, students have an option to live on campus for 8 months during
the academic year, during which the students can utilize the on-campus meal plan which
is a part of the housing Agreement. As we strongly encourage students to use the mandatory
meal plan, we have vending machines in the hall for late night snacking. The Residence
Life Community Living Standards can be found in the Student Handbook located in the
CSU student portal.
