# Which UT Austin apartments can undergrads apply for?

Start with 2400 Nueces if you’ll be a continuing undergraduate. If you have at least 30 credit hours, check the separate eligibility rules for Colorado, Gateway and Brackenridge.

## Undergraduate options and graduate-only housing

The Colorado, Gateway and Brackenridge rates shown cover June 2026 through May 2027 and include utilities, laundry and internet. Ask UT for the rates for your move-in year.

- [2400 Nueces · continuing students near campus](https://utaustin.guide/housing/2400-nueces) UT lists 9- and 12-month contracts for eligible new applicants. First-time freshmen can apply for their second year after the 12th class day of their first term. A 9-month contract ends in May.
- [Colorado · single-student housing](https://utaustin.guide/housing/colorado-apartments) UT lists a one-bedroom at $1,200 a month. In a shared two-bedroom, the smaller bedroom is about $619 and the larger is about $757 a month.
- [Gateway · single-student housing](https://utaustin.guide/housing/gateway-apartments) UT lists the same $1,200 one-bedroom rate and a 45/55 split for the two-bedroom. Compare the trip to campus from both complexes if either fits.
- [Brackenridge · family housing](https://utaustin.guide/housing/brackenridge-apartments) UT lists $1,320 a month for a one-bedroom, $1,514 for a two-bedroom and $1,826 for a three-bedroom. Check family eligibility before applying.
- [East Campus · full-time graduate students](https://housing.utexas.edu/housing/east-campus-graduate-apartments/ecga-application) UT lists studios, one-bedrooms and shared two-bedrooms. Each student in a two-bedroom has a private bedroom and bathroom and signs a separate contract.

## Use the application for the right property

Apply through the form for your property. The three University Apartments use a 30-credit threshold for undergraduates. The 2400 Nueces application uses separate continuing-student rules.
