Welcome To Residence Life

Residence Life is committed to providing you with a safe, comfortable, diverse, student centered living environment that promotes personal and academic success.

Living on campus is a unique experience that will allow you the opportunity to interact with students, faculty, and staff members of the University of Pittsburgh.

You will find a supportive, comfortable, and diverse environment that is focused on your academic success, self-exploration, career development, and the realization of your personal goals. The Resident Directors and Resident Assistants work around the clock to ensure that you have the most positive experience possible while living at the University.

Choosing to be a part of our residential community is, without question, a positive start to your academic career. Having fun, and living and interacting with a diverse group of others in an environment that is created to enhance your academic success is what you can expect from your residential experience. Without a doubt you will learn much about yourself and others, about your University, about Pittsburgh's rich cultural arts community, and about the world around us.

We strongly support and encourage a partnership with our entire community of responsible citizens to maintain the highest quality of life and to ensure that our living environment is clean, safe, and comfortable.

And finally, you will have more opportunities to get involved and connected to your University of Pittsburgh Panther community than you can ever imagine. We are glad you are here and we look forward to your participation in our residential community. Best wishes for a great year!
