At Roosevelt there are two residence halls: The Wabash Building Residences and the University Center. With panoramic views of Chicago’s towering skyscrapers and picturesque Lake Michigan, the Wabash Building combines classrooms, labs, dining, a fitness center and student resources, all in one remarkable building. The University Center is located 1/2 block west of Roosevelt's Auditorium Building. It is a newly renovated residence hall that houses students from Roosevelt University, DePaul University and Columbia College. Students live with classmates from their own institution. Both residence halls offer amenities such as:

At Roosevelt University, we believe on-campus living provides a community for students and nurtures connections to peers and the institution. Studies have shown that students who live in residence halls are more likely to complete their degrees than those who live outside of university housing. Students will benefit from the cultural experiences, civic engagement and internship opportunities that Chicago has to offer. Because of this philosophy, all new first-year, full-time students enrolled at the Chicago Campus are required to live in University housing for their first two years.
