Housing and dining
We know that a lot of learning happens outside the classroom, so we’ve created a residence life experience to support your academic and personal interests.
Our residence halls were designed with students’ needs in mind and we include students in the process of roommate placement to ensure a happy dorm life. With active participation from students in the daily functioning of residence halls, and regularly scheduled social activities to help new students make new friends, we’re sure you’ll enjoy living on campus!
For information on how to apply for housing, please visit the Future Residents or Current Residents page.
Home away from home
OU’s residence halls are designed with student comfort in mind. You can count on having a cozy place to study, socialize, and sleep.
Student staff members play an active day-to-day role in managing life in the dorms. Regularly scheduled social activities give classmates and hall-mates a fun chance to bond.

Home-style meals
The Petrel’s Nest is an all-you-care-to-eat dining hall inside the Turner Lynch Campus Center, with tasty options like fresh hot pizza, a crisp and crunchy salad bar, and a Mongolian grill with made-to-order stir-fry.
There’s also a full-service coffee shop, Stormy Brews, inside the Turner Lynch Campus Center, where you can grab a quick snack on the way to class or linger with a latte in the game room.
