Housing & Meal Plan Rates 2024-2025

The University Center provides National Louis University students with convenient housing and meal plan options for NLU Students.

National Louis offers three room types at the University Center. Quad Semi Suites where two roommates share a bathroom with two suitemates. Semi Private Suite where one resident shares a bathroom with a suitemate, and Apartments where four residents have private single rooms and share 2 bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen.

We also offer one Full Year (FY) Apartment contract from June to June. The other contracts are for the Academic Year which is September to June. Contracts are for either the Full Year or Academic Year.

Once contracts are signed, students are financially responsible for the room they are assigned. Housing contracts are not canceled, and there are fees associated with any early move outs. If you do not need housing from June to June or from September to June, but are only looking for housing for a shorter length of time, we are not able to accommodate. We only provide housing to NLU students who need housing for the Full Year or Academic Year.

Please review the housing agreement and contract for more details.
