Housing Availability

Spring 2026 

We are currently only accepting waitlist applications for Spring 2026. Offers will be made as spaces become available, with preference given to students who live outside of Miami-Dade and Broward County. 

We understand that housing is crucial to your success at FIU, and we are committed to making sure you feel supported and connected. 

Current Sophomores and Juniors for Fall 2026 – Spring 2027

As Florida International University continues to grow, more students are choosing to live on campus than ever before. While this reflects our strong Panther community, it also means on-campus housing will be limited for the 2026–2027 academic year.

On-campus housing will not be available for most juniors and seniors next year.

We understand this may impact your plans, and we want you to know that supporting your success and wellbeing remains a top priority.

What This Means for You
