Housing Options

Residence halls

We require full-time, single students to live on campus and build social and life skills. In 2009 we opened our newest dorm, the energy-efficient Cedarwood, and 2010 is a year of major renovation in our existing dorms. We’re committed to providing excellence in housing.

Dorms have double rooms, single rooms, four person adjoining rooms and suites. Review our campus housing policy

Living Learning Communities

There are two Living Learning Communities , open to all students, during the 2010-11 academic year: Global Connections and Walking Disciples. Students reside in Elmwood residence hall and also participate in a common academic course or theme that links their lives in the dorms with their lives in the classroom. Learn more

Mature students who can live in a group situation can apply to be part of the intentional community in Redmond House (up to six men and women). Houses are single-family dwellings owned by the university.
