The University of Texas at Tyler Residence Life

On-Campus Housing and Dining

UT Tyler is home to more than 800 resident students who live in Ornelas Residence Hall, Patriot Village Apartments or University Pines Apartments.

Incoming freshmen and transfer students can live at any of the three on-campus facilities.

Located on campus, all three housing facilities are conveniently a few minutes’ walk from your classes, the library, student center and recreational facilities. Each housing facility is designed especially with UT Tyler students in mind and offers first-class living arrangements. Ornelas Hall and Patriot Village now have WiFi available throughout the building.

UT Tyler Residence Life takes each student’s safety very seriously and provides staff members on call 24 hours a day. In addition, University Police patrol the buildings multiple times day and night.

All students living on-campus are required to purchase a meal plan. For more information please contact Food Services.
