Cost

As the cost of on-campus housing continues to rise across the state, Oakland University remains committed to making the residential experience affordable for students. Factor in the savings you'll see in transportation and gas, and free amenities such as laundry, parking and wireless internet, and living on campus may be the smartest financial decision for you.

Housing costs are billed through the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships, who also handles important payment and bill due dates.

Campus housing rates for the fall 2026-winter 2027 were approved by the Oakland University Board of Trustees in April 2026.
