Bucknell offers a variety of on-campus housing options, ranging from traditional dormitories to apartment-style residences. Freshmen typically live in residence halls with communal bathrooms and common areas, while upperclassmen have the option to live in suite-style rooms or apartment buildings. All on-campus housing includes amenities like high-speed internet, study lounges, and access to laundry facilities. The university also provides accessible housing options for students with disabilities.

While most students live on campus, there are options for off-campus housing in the surrounding Lewisburg area for upperclassmen. The university provides resources to help students find safe, off-campus apartments or houses, but students are encouraged to secure housing early. Off-campus accommodations offer greater independence but are still within easy reach of campus, making it convenient for students to participate in university activities.
