About Housing and Residence Education (DHRE)

DHRE provides healthy and affordable housing and dining options to the diverse and evolving developmental, educational, and nutritional needs of students living in a multicultural community.  DHRE houses 9000+ students in 26 residence halls and 6 graduate and family apartment buildings.  All students live in one of 15+ living learning communities.  The Residence Education team is approximately 60 professional staff and over 250 student staff.  The residence halls at the University of Florida are more than just a place to live.  Living in an adult environment with limited supervision provides students with a glimpse of what living in society is about:  interacting with people from various backgrounds, taking responsibility for personal behavior, learning how a political governing system works, and learning how to have fun--and get along--with friends and neighbors.  From classes, to interesting programs, to spontaneous fun, the residence halls provide an exciting living-learning experience.
