Family Housing

The University of Nebraska is dedicated to providing its students with the facilities they need for their education. We realize that the traditional residence halls do not suit the needs of all students. For those students that are married or have children, the university provides an alternative.

University Housing offers student family housing to those who are eligible. These units include a variety of apartment configurations with easy access to both City and East Campus.
