Mills graduate students can choose from several on-campus housing options, including apartments, traditional residence halls, and specialty housing. For our male graduate students, housing options include the Courtyard Townhouses, or, if they have children and space is available, Underwood Family Housing. All on-campus housing includes wireless Internet access, and use of laundry facilities is included in your housing fees.
Shown below are all residence halls on the Mills College Campus. Please note that we plan to start the 2021–22 academic year with rooms in Courtyard Townhouses, Ethel Moore Hall, Warren Olney Hall, Underwood Apartments, and Prospect Hill Apartments available for student placement. Information for all other halls is provided in the event that we are able to expand our offerings.
Specific living spaces have been designated to accommodate Mills students who require service or emotional support animals while living on campus, as indicated below. These types of housing are subject to availability. Information about service and support animals can be obtained from Student Access and Support Services.
