Housing & Residential Life provides housing for students at both the University Park and Biscayne Bay Campuses. There are four housing complexes located at the University Park Campus. They include three new state-of-the art housing facilities that have been opened in the last seven years, providing on-campus housing for 1,300 students. Total housing capacity on the University Park Campus is 1,900 bad spaces. At the Biscayne bay Campus, the newly renovates Bay Vista housing facility serves approximately 300 students. There are multiple room types providing a variety of accommodation to meet students' housing needs.

The campus residential community provides unique opportunities for personal growth and development, leadership experiences through student participation in programming and activities, and differences. Residents have the opportunity to enjoy social and educational events that are sponsored by their respective residence hall associations and resident assistants. The residence halls feature several Living and Learning Communities that include FYRST (First Year Residents Succeeding Together), Honors Place, Wellness, and Leaders in Residence.

All of the housing facilities have fast Ethernet connections, unlimited access to the web, basic cable television, local telephone service, and utilities are included in the room rental rate. Each of the residence halls is staffed with both professional and paraprofessional personnel to insure the facilities are safe and well maintained.
