Residential Life at the University of Massachusetts Amherst is one of the largest on campus housing systems in the United States. Over 14,000 students live in 51 residence halls including traditional residence halls, suites and apartments throughout campus. Our residence halls range in size from 150 to 550 residents and we guarantee housing for first year students.
In all of our halls we provide opportunities for students to integrate residential, academic and social life, while promoting positive involvement within the campus community.
