Student Housing

Welcome to your new home away from home!

Everett Community College is excited to now offer all enrolled students the ability to live on campus. Apply today and be the first to live in our brand new buildings!

Community isn’t just part of our name, it is something that we live out every day.

What you do with your time outside of the classroom is just as important as your in-class education. Staying on campus provides a living environment that will support your academic and personal goals. Institutional research shows students who live on campus are happier with their college experience, are more involved in campus activities, and earn higher grades. On average they get accepted to higher ranked universities and are offered more scholarships.
