Living Accommodations
Duke offers two residential apartment facilities in which graduate and
professional students live. These facilities are within short walking distance of
university bus service. All apartments are air-conditioned, fully furnished, and
utilities (heating/cooling, electricity, water, internet) are included. Each
complex has a swimming pool for residents’ use, and the Central Campus
Apartments also feature basketball courts and recreational playing field.
Licenses to occupy space in these facilities are issued for the academic year.
The rental rates vary depending upon the apartment type assigned. Please
contact Residence Life and Housing Services at
housing@studentaffairs.duke.edu.
Requests for Duke University housing may be submitted after you have
been admitted and have returned the official acceptance form. Students may
apply online at http://rlhs.studentaffairs.duke.edu. Space is limited, and all
students who intend to request housing are encouraged to apply early. In
recognition of the special needs of newly accepted international students,
priority for assignment to graduate and professional student housing will be
awarded to those students arriving from abroad on student visa status.
Duke Community Housing is an off-campus rental housing
resource for graduate students. Staff members are available to answer
questions concerning housing needs and maintain a database of rental
properties, accessible via the Internet at http://www.communityhousing.duke.edu.
