🏠 How housing selection works at University of North Texas

The University of North Texas does not require students to live on campus, but incoming freshmen who apply by the priority deadline are given housing preference. UNT's in Denton, TX serves approximately 7,500 students across a range of traditional residence halls, suite-style buildings, and apartment-style communities in and around the main campus.

First-Year Housing:Freshmen apply for housing in the spring before enrollment, selecting preferences by room type. The main first-year include:, (quiet, female-only, substance-free options), Mozart Square (suite-style, music-focused community), and (suite-style, newer facility). Students indicate room-type preferences and lifestyle options including quiet hours and substance-free communities.

Living Learning Communities:UNT offers several LLCs embedded system, including the Honors LLC (for Honors students), the Music LLC (Mozart Square), the Business LLC, and identity-based communities. LLC applications are part of the housing application process.
