Housing

On-Campus Housing

UNT has 14 resident halls, some open year round, offering a variety of living arrangement options.  On-campus housing at UNT is safe, comfortable, and affordable!

You should apply to live in the dormitory as soon as possible BEFORE you arrive on campus! Some students apply one year in advance before their arrival for the fall semester.

If you apply AFTER you arrive, you must stay in a hotel at least one night (US $55 a night) and possibly three nights. For example, if you arrive Friday afternoon, too late to apply in the Housing Office, you must stay in a hotel three nights (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night) until the Housing Office opens on Monday morning.

If you want to live in a dormitory, please check the online housing application at http://www.unt.edu/housing.

Off-Campus Housing

Off-campus housing is affordable, with many apartment complexes within walking distance of campus.

Finding an Apartment

If you want to try to find an apartment, please remember this: you will need to stay in a hotel (US$ 55 a night) while you are looking for an apartment.  It is difficult to find an apartment in only one day.  If you arrive Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, you must wait until Monday to sign an apartment contract.

Most apartments have no furniture.  You will possibly need to contact the gas, electric, and telephone companies to supply your apartment with utilities.  You will pay a deposit for these utilities.

You can get information about apartments at the International Welcome Center after you arrive in Denton, but you will need to look and choose the apartment you would like.  Unfortunately, we cannot choose an apartment for you before or after your arrival.

One suggestion: you should live in the dormitory during your first semester.  During that first semester you may look for a good apartment and roommate to share expense.

Don't make a quick decision concerning an apartment or roommate!  The apartment contract is for at least six months.  If you leave earlier, you will lose your deposit!
