The Department of Residence Halls is home to an extensive and diverse residential program featuring six residential communities.
The University offers University Village, an apartment area housing approximately 800 upper-class students. We strive to fulfill our mission – Student Housing for Student Learning.
Each building in the apartment area have one or more student staff called Resident Assistants who provide peer mentoring, cultural and social opportunities, academic assistance, and work with their residents to develop a community that enriches and supports the student learning and academic experience at the University of Miami.

First Year Residential Experience
This fall Hecht and Stanford and one floor of Mahoney Residential College house our incoming first-year students who live together in a purposive community specifically dedicated to their academic success and successful transition to the University of Miami.
Student staff – Resident Assistants and Academic Fellows - live on these floors and work with students to create communities that assist students with transitioning to the University, learning about campus and academic resources, and maximizing their learning at the University of Miami.
