The University of Houston (UH) housing web page has information about your housing choices. There are links that will answer most of your questions about UH housing (dormitories) prices, dates, meal plans, and more. While we recommend you live on campus for convenience and accommodation to campus you are not required to live on campus. You may live in an apartment or with a host family.

ON-CAMPUS HOUSING OPTIONS:

• University Lofts
• Bayou Oaks
• Cougar Place
• Cougar Village
• Cougar Village II
• Moody Towers

OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING OPTIONS:

• Cambridge Oaks
• Cullen Oaks

Many LCC students live in apartments off campus, sometimes sharing apartments and expenses. A wide range of apartments is available in Houston, and prices vary greatly. Also, most apartments require renters to pay their own utilities (electricity, gas, telephone, etc.). Utility costs vary with the season, but the average is $100-200 per month. Distance from campus and transportation should be considered in choosing off-campus housing. Adequate bus service is available to most areas.

ON-CAMPUS HOUSING PRICES:

The housing price includes a fully furnished and (most are, but some are not) carpeted room, all utilities, local telephone service, ethernet service, and basic cable. Also included are computer labs, laundry facilities, vending areas, and housing staff available 24 hours a day.

HOUSING CHECK-IN / CHECK-OUT DATES:

Please contact the University of Houston Housing for up-to-date information.

Note: Cougar Place is the only on-campus housing available to LCC students during the summer.

MEAL PLAN: Meal Plan Rates: Many meal plans are available to students living in university housing.
Go to the University of Houston Dining Services website for rates.

Meal Plan Facts:

• Meal plans are subject to 8.25% sales tax.
• Meal plan rates can change.
• Some on-campus residences require that you purchase a meal plan.
• You are charged only for the meals that you eat. Money not used one-term rolls over to the next. If there is still money in your meal plan account when you leave the university, you cannot get your money back.
• All students may purchase a Flex Account card that can be used for meals, laundry and other campus services.
• If you have money left in your account when the course ends, you can get that money back.

HOUSING AGREEMENT FACTS:

When you sign a Housing Agreement for the term beginning in September, you are actually agreeing to stay in University Housing for two terms (Fall and Spring). If you leave University Housing at the end of the Fall term, you will be charged a breach of contract penalty unless (1) you have completed and graduated from Level 6 of LCC program, and (2) you are leaving the University of Houston at the end of the Fall term.

ITEMS TO BRING OR BUY WHEN YOU LIVE IN UH HOUSING (DORMITORIES): You must bring your own telephone and your own bed linens (sheets - twin extra long sheets, blankets, bedspread, and pillow). You can buy these at any retail store after you arrive in Houston. See the 2017 Fall Move-In Guide for more details.
