Housing Selection
Find your home at Saint Louis University!
Many students choose to live at SLU and for good reason — it gives them a chance to develop lifelong friendships with students from across the country and around the globe. All housing contracts and payments are paperless and can be viewed and completed online through mySLU.
2026-2027 Housing Selection
Select your student category to view your specific housing selection process. Student housing groups are determined by how many years you have lived on campus, not by the number of academic credits you have earned.
