NDSU Upper Division Student Living

From modern apartments to traditional residence halls and everything in between, find the housing experience you want next year. We offer student-friendly housing contracts that provide maximum flexibility for the planned and the unexpected and a variety of unbeatable student housing options. 

Apartments vs Residence Halls

There are six main differences between our halls and apartments, but both offer the same unbeatable benefits of on-campus convenience. 

 

Super Singles and Doubles


Doubles in ANY Residence Hall: Upper-division students can select to live in any residence hall. 

Super Singles: Upper-division  students will have access to "super singles" in limited halls. Super Singles are traditional residence hall rooms (that typically have two students), but they will be reserved as a single space.

Cater Hall

From modern architectural planning to innovative residence hall design, Cater provides a state-of-the-art living environment for NDSU students. Cater also offers two suite options, co-ed floors, central air, and tunnel access to the WDC.

ROOMS/SUITE INFORMATION: 

• Two-bedroom, four-person suite: Two double bedrooms that share a foyer with a private bathroom, shower and vanity with two sinks. 
• One-bedroom, two-person suite: One double bedroom that has a foyer with a private bath, shower and vanity with one sink. 

Meal plan: Upper division students living in Cater are required to select one of three options: Five-day unlimited plan, seven-day unlimited plan, or 170 block plan.
