Puget Sound is a residential campus, which means that most students live on campus. Living in community is an integral part of a liberal arts education that provides you opportunities to cultivate new friendships, find academic support, and explore co-curricular activities.
Housing at Puget Sound
Living on campus isn’t just about a place to sleep and study—a chance to get involved, developing crucial life skills, and connect with other students with similar academic and extra-curricular interests. Residence Life staff are here to help you navigate living on campus and offer resources to maximize and enhance your academic, social, civic, and community life.
On and around campus, you’ll find nine traditional residence halls, two suite-style residence halls, nearly 50 university-owned houses, and eight Greek houses. Discover more about the housing options to satisfy Puget Sound’s two-year live-on requirement.

Located directly across the street from campus, Puget Sound’s eight Greek chapter houses give students the opportunity to be active in their community as part of a fraternity or sorority. Students may live in a chapter house after their freshman year.
These 47 university-owned houses are located around campus, providing students with a chance to live independently in a small community. Each house is fully furnished and includes a full kitchen, washer and dryer, standard twin beds, closets or wardrobes, desks, and bookcases.
