How to address mail to college student

When addressing mail to a college student, it's a good idea to use the following format:

Student's Name Student ID Number (if available) College/University Name Department/Residence Hall City, State ZIP Code

Here are some examples:

1. If the student has a mailbox in their residence hall:

John Doe 123 Main St, Room 314 University of California, Los Angeles Los Angeles, CA 90095

2. If the student has a mailbox in the student union or student services building:

Jane Smith Student Union, Box 123 University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109

3. If the student has a PO box:

Michael Johnson PO Box 456 University of Texas at Austin Austin, TX 78712

4. If the student has a specific department or office:

Emily Chen Department of Computer Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana, IL 61801

5. If the student is living off-campus:

Sarah Lee 1234 Elm St, Apt 101 Champaign, IL 61820

Tips:

• Make sure to use the student's name as it appears on their student ID or other official documents.
• If the student has a specific mailbox or PO box, use that address instead of their residence hall or department.
• If the student is living off-campus, use their permanent address or the address of their off-campus residence.
• Check with the college or university's mail services or student affairs office if you're unsure about the correct address format or if the student has a specific mailbox or PO box.

Remember to always verify the student's address with them or their college/university before sending mail.
