  • Living on Campus

    Residential students are housed on the main campus in one of the University of Miami’s residential colleges used by UM undergraduates during the academic year.

    Students have roommates and floormates who share similar academic interests. Trained residential staff live on the designated Summer Scholars floors with the participants to promote safety and wellbeing, and to create welcoming learning communities. Rooms are assigned by gender with male and female students on separate floors. We are an inclusive community.

    Accommodations are air-conditioned and include desks, beds and bureaus for two students.

    The University provides Internet connectivity to all students. All residential areas are equipped with University Wi-Fi and all bedrooms are equipped with a port for wired connectivity.
