❓ Junior Year Housing FAQ

Are juniors at University of Miami required to live on campus?

Most colleges allow juniors to choose between on-campus and off-campus. A handful require on-campus through senior year. Check your college housing portal for the current policy.

What's the difference between apartment-style and suite-style?

Apartment-style includes a full kitchen + private bathroom + living room shared by ~4-6 residents — closer to real apartments. Suite-style is 4-8 students sharing a bathroom + common space, no kitchen. Apartments are usually upperclass-only.

Can I live in a themed or language community as a junior?

Yes — themed communities and language houses are usually open to juniors who apply by the deadline. Each has its own application process; see your housing portal for the list.

Should I move off campus as a junior?

Junior year is the most common moment to move off campus. Pros: cheaper, more independence, real-life skills. Cons: utilities, transit to class, no dining hall. If you're unsure, line up a 1-year on-campus apartment-style room as a hedge — they let you cancel before move-in at most schools.
