Apply for a Housing and Meal Plan
Housing
UNE has a three-year residency requirement. Once we have received your enrollment deposit, you are eligible to complete a Housing and Dining Service Application and Contract to select roommate and residence hall preferences. If you think you know who you want to live with, you also have the option of inviting friends to be part of your roommate group. Housing assignments are made in priority order based on the date we receive your application. Roommate groups can be created until the end of June and you will be informed about your housing assignment in mid-July. Learn more about living on campus at UNE
Living Learning and Themed Living Communities
In addition to your housing application, consider applying for a Living Learning or Themed Living Community. These are specialized experiences for incoming students who want to live in an environment with a central theme, related to either a shared identity or field of study. Learn more about Living Learning and Themed Living
Meal Plans and Dining
As a residential student, you are automatically assigned a meal plan, so there is no separate application to complete. The plan includes a set number of meals per week in the dining hall, flexible spending dollars for on-campus dining, and Nor'easter Dollars for select off-campus restaurants in the area.
You can change your meal plan at the beginning of the semester. For more information about the dining facilities and meal plans visit Dining Services.

New Student Orientation
Orientation prepares you for the academic, social, and personal aspects of university life. You’ll make connections and get the important information you’ll need to start at UNE. Attendance is required for all incoming undergraduate students, including first-time college students and transfer students.
Trailblazer Orientation Trips
In addition to orientation, you have the opportunity to sign up for a Trailblazer trip. Through these off-campus activities, you will meet friends, faculty, current students, and professional staff in a smaller group setting well before school begins. We offer a variety of programs for all interests.
Registration for 2025 Orientation and Trailblazer trips coming soon.
