Student Life: Housing Options

Transfer Students have some great living options at Bradley University. From classroom to dorm room, our residential environment provides a wealth of social, cultural, and civic opportunities. Many times, getting involved is simply a matter of walking down the block.

Whether you live in an apartment or on campus, the “West Bluff” neighborhood is a happening place. Coffee shops, restaurants, and unique shopping locations give Bradley students the convenience of city living within walking distance of classrooms, the library, and the student center.
