Graduate Student Accommodation at the UW
Many of the graduate students living on campus reside in either Mercer Hall or Hansee Hall. These are mostly single-room residences and tend to be occupied by students over 20 years of age. Both halls have 24-hour quiet hours. Although cooking facilities are limited, microwaves are easy to find. Rates vary depending on the room and meal plan you choose.
Other students residing on campus will be found at the Steven’s Court apartments. The single rooms are arranged in groups of four students per apartment, and each apartment has a kitchen, a bathroom and a living area. Food is not included in the residence fee of about $661 per month (for a single room). There is generally a long waiting list for Steven’s Court, so you should apply as early as possible.
There is family housing near campus for married students, as well.

Off Campus Housing
Since the University of Washington is a neighborhood university, there is plenty of off-campus housing very close to the University. For those choosing to live farther away from campus, it is easy to commute by bike or Metro bus.
Advertisements for shared and single-occupancy housing are readily found posted at the University or in local papers. It is most difficult to find housing just prior to and after the beginning of fall quarter.
