The University of Massachusetts is the sixth largest housing program in the nation, housing approximately 11,400 students in 45 residence halls.

The Northeast/Sylvan/North area captures the spirit of the oldest and the newest residential construction on campus. Thatcher House was built in 1935, making it the oldest residential structure on campus. In the fall of 2006, the North Apartment complex was opened and is the newest addition of residence halls to campus since the 1970's.

Over the course of the next ten years, the University wants to increase enrollment by approximately 5,000 students. To accommodate such an ambitious increase in student enrollment, the University plans to renovate existing residence halls and undertake new construction. In addition to expanding the capacity of the residence halls, Housing and Residence Life spends millions of dollars every year upgrading the existing residence hall infrastructure to provide safe and comfortable living arrangements for all students.
