HERE TO SUPPORT THE UNDERGRADUATE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY

Columbia Housing provides our undergraduate residential students with safe and comfortable accommodations, and a friendly face whenever they have questions or concerns. We're responsible for maintaining the physical integrity, cleanliness and operations of Columbia's 30+ undergraduate residence halls. While we manage a lot of moving parts to keep our buildings in top shape, our number one priority is our undergraduate student residents.

If you are a graduate student seeking University housing, please visit the Columbia Residential website.

For maintenance support in your room or building, open a Service Request with Facilities and Operations at any time.
