Housing and Residence Life Information

The Housing and Residence Life program at Metropolitan State University of Denver fosters an inclusive, student-centered living-learning environment that advances academic success, personal growth and community engagement. Guided by the CADRE values of Community, Access, Diversity, Respect and Excellence, we create residential experiences that remove barriers, celebrate all identities, and cultivate mutual respect. Through intentional connections to the dynamic urban environment of downtown Denver, we empower students to thrive academically and socially while engaging meaningfully with the broader community. 

MSU Denver CADRE Values Integration 

Community: Building meaningful relationships within the residence halls and the Denver community  

Access: Creating inclusive housing experiences that support all students 

Diversity: Celebrating and learning from the rich identities and experiences of our residents  

Respect: Fostering a culture of care, dialogue and belonging  

Excellence: Delivering high-quality residential programs that support student success in and out of the classroom. 

As the inaugural residential program at Metropolitan State University of Denver, Housing and Residence Life aspires to be a transformative cornerstone of campus life — where students live, learn and lead in a vibrant urban setting. We envision a residential community that embodies the CADRE values by fostering belonging, expanding access to opportunity and promoting excellence in all aspects of student life. Rooted in the energy of downtown Denver, our communities will prepare students to become engaged citizens and leaders who contribute to a more equitable and connected world.
