On-Campus Living

Visit the New Student Checklists webpage for a packing checklist and more.

Once you receive your housing and roommate assignment, it is recommended that you explore building floor plans. All student rooms are furnished with a bed (extra-long twin 36”x80”), dresser, desk, desk chair and closet or wardrobe for each student.

Housing, Meal Plan, and ID Card Services will notify students of their housing assignment and roommate around mid-July through their Syracuse email address (i.e. @syr.edu). Move-In Registration details are included in that email.

Room and roommate assignments will be emailed to students. Assignments reflect a random placement into one of 16 residential facilities on both North and South Campus. All new first-year students are placed on North Campus while new transfer students are traditionally placed into the transfer student community within the South Campus SkyHalls.

We strongly encourage you to contact your roommate to become acquainted and begin a discussion on sharing a room. You will have some important things to discuss and consider as you begin a relationship with your new roommate. Once you arrive and are settled into your room, you will have follow-up discussions and complete a roommate agreement, administered through Student Living. We realize that sharing a living space with someone new can create anxiety and stress for some, but we’re hopeful that you will be able to connect with your new roommate prior to coming to campus and get to know them.

Please understand that the University will not grant room changes for any reason prior to your on-campus arrival. Collectively as a University we believe that the residential college experience is about learning new things and meeting/living with people who are different from you. We think that you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the connections that you can make when you step outside of your comfort zone.

Residence halls will be prepared to begin receiving packages so you can lighten the load of your trip to Syracuse! The residence halls will begin receiving packages on August 19, 2022. Do not ship items prior to this date.

Your shipping and mailing address is shown on your housing assignment confirmation. You will be assigned a mailbox at your residence hall check-in. Please note, you should not include “Syracuse University” in your mailing address. For exact street addresses of residential facilities, please visit the Residence Hall webpage.

All South Campus apartments have mailbox clusters for mail delivery. They are located close to apartments and along walkways and driveways. Each apartment is assigned a mailbox. Residents are issued mailbox keys at check-in. Clusters also contain package delivery boxes for large items.

• • Housekeeping: A full-time University housekeeping staff employed by Facility Services cleans lounges, public bathrooms and other public areas seven days a week. Students are responsible for cleaning their own room.

• • Laundry: Clothes washers and dryers are provided in all residence halls and on South Campus for any residential student—no money needed! The Syracuse University Campus Store offers a dry cleaning service.

• • Linens: Students will need to bring their own bed linens, pillows and towels to campus.

• • Storage: There is no storage in the residence halls or South Campus apartments for the summer or a semester abroad. Lazybones is the University's official storage company for students. Learn more today!
