Residence halls

Like many colleges, RPI students have the option to live on campus in residence halls. Most dorm residents are freshmen and sophomores, who are required to live on campus. Limited housing is also available for upperclassmen and graduate students, though many choose to live off campus in apartments or houses in Troy.

Most students living on campus will apply for housing in the spring prior to the academic year. Students can also apply for individual fall, spring, or summer semesters. The Student Living and Learning Website posts the opening and due dates for applications. Student Living and Learning assigns housing manually, so the date on which housing assignments are announced is not the same every year. However, it is often in late June for first years and around a week before the first year announcements for returning students.

Off-Campus Housing

A majority of upperclassmen and graduate students live nearby off campus. Nearby landlords will often seek to rent to RPI students, and many advertise around campus and post to RPI's housing search website.

The Dean of Students Office maintains an office for off-campus services that provides resources and assistance to students living off campus.

Greek Housing

RPI is home to an active Greek life, with over 30 active fraternities and sororities, including two whose alpha chapters were started at RPI. Students are eligible to join a fraternity or sorority starting in their second semester of freshman year, and may live in chapter-owned housing starting sophomore year. The Fraternity and Sorority Life Website hosts more information and a list of fraternities and sororities.
