The residence halls offer both coed and single sex floors. Most rooms are double-occupancy, however, there are a limited number of quad-occupancy rooms, single-occupancy rooms, and super-single rooms. A super single is the same size as a double room, but reserved for one person.
Coed floors are typically divided in half, with women’s rooms on one end of the floor and men’s rooms on the other end. Coed floors have at least two restrooms, one for women and one for men. To compare different residence hall floors and features, read the Residence Hall Options at a Glance.
Illinois State also offers a variety of academic and special interest floors called themed learning. If a themed learning floor is not for you, each area has floors that are not designated as special lifestyles.
Note: Each residence hall offers a slightly different experience. By choosing certain halls, you may incur fees in addition to the base room and board rates. Please review the scholarships and costs pages of Illinois State University Housing to learn more about the opportunities you may take advantage of, along with any possible expenses.
