Welcome to Residence Life

Living on Campus

The Department of Residence Life provides apartment-style residence halls with several floor plans, from cozy efficiencies to two- and four-bedroom units. There are also community spaces with room for studying, recreation, private mailboxes and administrative offices. All residence halls at UTEP are co-educational and ADA compliant rooms are available.

Students who live on campus are more likely to graduate on time, have a higher GPA and be more satisfied with their college experience than students who live off campus. The close proximity to both classes and campus resources makes it easier to balance studies, recreation and socializing. 

Mission

The Department of Residence Life is dedicated to creating a living learning community that is vital to the UTEP college experience and provides positive growth opportunities through interaction with people from diverse backgrounds to help students understand their role in a global society.

Vision

The Department of Residence Life is dedicated to enhancing the academic experience of residential students by providing clean and affordable housing that directly relates to the privacy, convenience, and technology needs of students on campus. In a strong effort to support success in higher education, the Department of Residence Life offers programs and opportunities for involvement to residents which add to the in-class experience and prepare them to meet lifelong intellectual, ethical, and career challenges.
