Break Housing

Need to stay on campus over break?

We offer housing options in both Champaign and Urbana for Fall, Winter and Spring Breaks.

If you are staying in an undergraduate residence hall during a break period, regardless of location, you will be required to complete a break housing contract. The rate for break housing is $40 per night, and meals will not be available.

Students living in Illinois Street Residence Halls (ISR), Pennsylvania Avenue Residence Halls (PAR), Snyder Hall and Wassaja Hall are permitted to remain in their own rooms for all breaks. Students needing break housing accommodations who do not live in one of these halls will be assigned to converted lounge spaces in ISR, PAR or Snyder Hall.

Our graduate upper-division halls, Sherman and Daniels, are open over the breaks during the school year and there is no need to apply for break housing.
