General Information

Summer 2024 on-campus housing is available to the following Vanderbilt undergraduate students:

• Student athletes in competition, courses, and/or research/internships
• Students who meet the Tennessee definition of homelessness
• International students with safety-based travel concerns or visa issues (Requests will be vetted in collaboration with Global Safety, ISSS, and Student Care Coordination)

All students who apply for summer housing and meet the above criteria will be provided summer housing.

Students graduating in May 2024 and students who withdraw from the university during the spring 2024 semester are not eligible for summer 2024 on-campus housing.  Students and recent graduates who need assistance identifying housing in the Nashville area are welcome to utilize the Off-Campus Housing Service.

Students will have access to community kitchens within Warren College and Moore College.

Vanderbilt students participating in summer academic internships or research programs who are interested in summer on-campus housing should contact Conferences and Events at internhousing@vanderbilt.edu.  Additional information is available here.
