University of New Haven Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
First-year students at the University of New Haven are generally required to live in university-owned residence halls for their first year. This policy helps new students acclimate to campus life and build community with fellow classmates. Students who are local commuters or have documented special circumstances may petition for an exemption.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Sophomores and upperclassmen are eligible to live off campus and many choose to do so given the active rental market in West Haven and nearby New Haven. Students should review current university housing policies each year as eligibility criteria may be updated. Popular off-campus areas include neighborhoods surrounding the campus along Savin Rock and in the Westville area of New Haven.
Lease Timing
Most off-campus leases in West Haven and New Haven run on a September-to-August or annual calendar cycle aligned with the academic year. Students looking for off-campus housing for the following fall should begin searching by October or November of the current year. Waiting until spring can significantly limit available options as inventory moves quickly near UNH.
