Residence Communities

 Gonzaga University offers many different residential communities to meet the needs of students.

Traditional Style Residence Halls--These communities are traditional in the sense that they may be of the same style as the residences your parents may have lived in if they attended college. They are distinguished by bedroom rooms located on either side of a central corridor and a community bathroom that serves the floor.  Traditional residence halls tend to be more popular with 1st year residents.

Suite Style Residence Halls--This style of hall offers a suite of two or three bedrooms that share an adjacent bathroom. In most cases, the suites are accessible from an interior common space, although there are some with bedrooms that open directly from the exterior of the building.  Suite style halls tend to be popular with 2nd year residents.

Apartments--These communities offer what you'd expect in apartment style living--living room, bathroom, kitchens. Most of the apartments are two and three bedroom units, however, there are also a few one, four, and five bedroom units.  For students still subject to the residency requirement[1], most bedrooms will be double occupancy.  For students who have fulfilled the residency requirement, most bedrooms are single occupancy.  Apartment style living is popular with 2nd year residents as well as those who have fulfilled the residency requirement. The Housing and Residence Life staff does not recommend that 1st year residents select apartment style living as a preference.

 All of the communities offer the standard amenities--furnishings, network access, cable TV and phone service.
