You’ll love the options for freshman housing at OU. There are the Towers that have semi-private bathrooms, the Quads with community bathrooms, and special interest housing offerings such as the Academic Arts Community (part of the Honors College). You can find just the right fit for you within an exceptional residential community of students and scholars. Since OU is one of only a few public universities in the nation with faculty families living in residence halls, you can even develop intergenerational friendships. Because creating a sense of family matters at OU, the residence halls will soon become a real home away from home for you.

And we are excited to say that your new home on our campus is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade! The rooms are currently being transformed to meet the requests of our students, such as incorporating all-moveable furniture.

OU guarantees housing to freshmen. All single freshmen students under 20 years of age must live in a University residence hall for the academic year except for those who have earned 24 or more hours of college credit in residence or have already lived in University residence halls for two academic semesters, specifically, the spring and fall semesters. CLEP, AP, or hours earned through concurrent enrollment or similar opportunities are not applicable. Exemption from this policy is by special permission only.
