Housing at the University of Washington is administered by the Housing & Food Services (HFS) department at the University of Washington. Undergraduates are housed primarily in residence halls located on North Campus and West Campus. Typically, residence halls are 9-month spaces for undergraduate students. However, there are also 12-month apartment spaces available for undergraduate students. Graduate and professional students are provided the option to live in 12-month apartments operated either by the university or privately. The University of Washington does not require students to live on campus. Although students are not required, about 71% of freshmen choose to live on campus.[1] Housing is not guaranteed but placement in the residence halls is guaranteed for returning residents. Most winter quarter and spring quarter applicants are assigned housing.[2] There are also three family housing options for registered full-time students at the Seattle campus.
Housing at the University of Washington is not limited to HFS. Fraternities and sororities at the University of Washington accommodate from 15 to 116 members. More than 1,000 freshmen a year live in the university's 50 fraternity and sorority houses.[3]
