Because the Houston area has a vast number of awesome apartments near the University of Houston campus, students are not required by the university to stay on campus. If students choose not to have all the benefits of their own Houston apartment and want to live on-campus, U of H has a program specifically for first year students called The Freshman Year Residential Experience (FYRE). The program is designed to give incoming freshman increased access to faculty and staff, transition programs, involvement in community service, and live in learning communities with students of the same major. The University of Houston has many options to choose from when it comes to finding the dorm that fits a students needs. All housing comes with utilities, local phone, ethernet service, cable, computer labs, on site laundry, vending areas, carpet and furnishings.
Probably the most popular of all the housing sites is Moody Towers. It consists of two 18 story buildings that houses more than 1,100 students. Rooms house two occupants with single rooms reserved for upper level and graduate students. Each floor holds either all male or all female students with a community bathroom and residents are required to have a meal plan. Students who don't mind coed accommodations can stay in The Quadrangle where two double occupancy suites connect with a private bath housing four individuals. Floors are coed but suites are single gender. Unlike Moody Towers students can rearrange furnished rooms to suit their needs.
Upper class-men and graduate students looking for more apartment style living have the option to also reside in Cougar Place. Each unit contains two room suites fully furnished with patios, and some are equipped with small kitchenettes including stove, refrigerator and sink. As Borat would say "Very nice"!

Of course these aren't the only options in a metroplex such as Houston when it comes to stylin' and profilin'. Many students choose to find their own accommodations besides what is offered at the university due to wanting more space, privacy and freedom. There are no RA's instructing students what the rules are when you stay in your own apartment. "High five"! Yes, another Borat quote. With many options to choose from located around the university students can choose an apartment complex that may fit their certain needs when it comes to amenities.
So whether you choose to stay on campus or reside in one of the many apartment locations off campus the University of Houston is the solution to receiving the best education possible!
