Private Certified Housing (PCH)

What is Private Certified Housing?

Never heard of Private Certified Housing (PCH)? You’re not alone. This housing option is completely unique to UIUC.

University Housing residence halls are owned by the university, while PCH facilities are privately owned but certified by the university for all UIUC students, including first-year students. Similar to University Housing, PCH facilities offer all the essentials you expect from student housing.
