Residential life is an essential part of the university experience, offering students not only a place to live but also an opportunity to build meaningful relationships, share cultural values, and grow within a diverse community. At the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, nearly half of our non-local students choose to reside in on-campus or off-campus dormitories, creating a vibrant and dynamic environment for both personal and academic development.

Living on campus provides much more than four walls and a bed. Each residence is designed to encourage a spirit of cooperation, discipline, and intercultural understanding through communal living. This distinctive experience helps students broaden their perspectives and develop life-long friendships.

Currently, UMA offers 5 residential flats for male students and 8 residential flats for female students within the main campus—just a short walk from most faculties and academic buildings. All dormitories are fully furnished and include living/dining areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and study spaces, ensuring comfort and convenience for students.

In addition to the on-campus housing, the Residential Housing Services Office manages 3 off-campus residential buildings for male students and 3 for female students, located in different areas of the city. This variety of options allows students to select the type of accommodation that best fits their needs and preferences.

Students living in the dormitories also benefit from university catering facilities, with lunch and dinner served daily in the central dining hall, only a few minutes’ walk from the residences. Safety and well-being are top priorities, and all housing facilities are supported with security and essential services.

UMA is also working toward expanding its residential options by preparing dedicated housing for married PhD students, aiming to further support the academic and personal lives of our graduate community.

At every level, the university is committed to providing comfortable, secure, and affordable housing that enhances the student experience and contributes to academic success.
