University Housing & Residential Life
Welcome to Temple University's Office of University Housing & Residential Life. Our mission highlights our responsibility for all student life matters within the University residence halls, including student well-being, staffing, programs, group and individual advising, maintenance concerns, housekeeping, and billing. The Office of University Housing & Residential Life is comprised of interconnected functioning areas, each here to work and support your needs. These four areas are referred to as the four pillars: Residential Life, Assignments & Billing, Maintenance Operations, and Off-Campus Living & Conference Services.
The diversity of our staff and student body provides opportunities for your personal growth while at Temple. Also, our residential life program is designed to provide you opportunities for cultural, recreational, social and academic growth. Additionally, there are programs that will empower you to develop leadership skills. Our Residence Hall Governments/Senates and the Residence Hall Association are excellent organizations for you to apply leadership skills and to develop a positive and productive community environment in your residence hall. Hall staff will be discussing the wide range of opportunities available to you while you are living in University Housing. There are approximately 140 registered student organizations for you to choose from to become more involved in campus life.
The staff who works for Temple University’s Office of University Housing & Residential Life is committed to helping you resolve any concerns that may arise during your time in housing. Our live-in hall staff includes Resident Directors, Resident Coordinators, Resident Assistants, and Community Builder Assistants; they serve as tremendous resources and have been trained to assist you in a wide variety of situations. Please do not hesitate to contact them or any of our staff in the central office at 1910 Liacouras Walk if you need assistance. We hope that your time with us will be enriching, and that we can support you in achieving your goals at Temple.
