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 and tennis courts. 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
