Housing Options

As a first-year student, you’ll have a variety of residence hall options designed to help you feel comfortable, supported, and connected from your very first day on campus.

Our traditional, low-rise residence halls—Burgum, Churchill, Dinan, Weible, Reed/Johnson, and Stockbridge—offer a smaller community feel with single-gender floors, mostly renovated, privatized bathrooms, and double rooms, with limited single and triple options.

Our suite-style, high-rise halls—Cater, Pavek, Sevrinson, Seim, and Thompson—feature co-residential living with two double rooms connected by a shared foyer and bathroom. All have tunnel access to the West Dining Center. Pavek Hall is currently undergoing a full renovation and is scheduled to reopen in fall 2025. Seim Hall will begin a two-year full renovation starting in fall 2025.

Available exclusively to upper-division, transfer, and graduate students, apartment-style residence halls at NDSU—Niskanen Hall and Mathew Living Learning Center—offer fully furnished, air-conditioned units in co-residential buildings. Each includes a kitchen, living room, and private bathroom, with layout options like four-bedroom/one-bathroom, two-bedroom/two-bathroom, two-bedroom/one-bathroom, and studio units.

For even more independence, NDSU apartments—Apartment 1701, Bison Court, Niskanen Expansion, and University Village—provide private, on-campus living for the same student groups. Available layouts include three-bedroom/two-bathroom, two-bedroom/two-bathroom, one-bedroom/one-bathroom, and studio units.
