Housing Options and Communities

Your Campus—Your Home. Enjoy Your Life in the Heart of IUP!

Making you comfortable in your campus home is not one-size-fits-all, so we give you lots of options.

Choose from a variety of suites, amazing Living-Learning Communities, different price points, and some fresh housing options—like earning a certificate related to your Living-Learning Community or choosing to room with someone of another gender.

Older students also have a new option the Upper Division Community, which gives upperclassmen students an on-campus option for living around older students. Students 21 and older in this community are permitted to responsibly have limited amounts of alcohol in their rooms.

Sign up for housing as quickly as possible—options are limited and fill up quickly, so act fast!

Note: Before you can sign up for housing, you need to commit to IUP and make your tuition deposit.

To receive the scholarship, sign up for your 2021-22 campus housing by June 1, 2021, for incoming freshmen and October 30, 2020, for upperclassmen.

Other Living Arrangements

Whitmyre Hall, the home of the Cook Honors College, is set up as a traditional-style residence hall with a bathroom on each wing, rather than in suites. The first floor is open to all residents and includes a library-style great room, a full kitchen, multiple lounge areas, open classrooms, and study areas. Freshman Honors College students are required to live in Whitmyre Hall. Returning students have the option of living there.

The Upper Division Community, located in the Suites on Pratt on the first and second floors, allows students 21 years old and older to have a limited amount of alcohol in their rooms, within guidelines.
