UT Austin says it offers on-campus residence halls, University Apartments, 2400 Nueces Apartments in West Campus, and East Campus Graduate Apartments. Admissions also says there are 15 residence halls on campus, and that eligible students can apply for on-campus housing through MyStatus.

- University Apartments are reserved for families, graduate students, and undergraduates with at least 30 credit hours.
- East Campus Graduate Apartments are exclusively for graduate students.

How to choose the right option

- Choose University Apartments if you are eligible and want housing reserved for families, graduate students, or students with 30+ credit hours.
