Prospective Students-Housing Services - Carnegie Mellon University

Prospective Students

Welcome to Housing and Dining Services! We are so excited that you are considering Carnegie Mellon for your academic experience and we know that housing plays an important role in shaping that experience.

Undergraduate

Carnegie Mellon guarantees housing to all new, incoming first-year students. Housing for undergraduate transfer students is based on availability and prospective transfer students are encouraged to apply for housing as soon as they accept their admissions to Carnegie Mellon.

Prospective undergraduate students should navigate through the links in this section to learn more about the available housing options and to have many of your questions answered. Once you are admitted to Carnegie Mellon and you have paid your admissions deposit, be sure to check out the information in the Incoming Students section.

Graduate

For prospective graduate students, we offer a variety of off-campus housing resources. Use the Community Housing resource page to explore off-campus housing options in the Pittsburgh community, learn more about the neighborhoods surrounding Carnegie Mellon and find valuable information about off-campus living. Please note that at this time – due to limited availability - we are not able to provide university housing to graduate students.
