On-Campus Housing

For many of us, going away to college is the first time that a person spends a significant time away from home. Information in this part of this site pertains to helping with some of the transition to living on-campus as well as some helpful information of some of the policies and processes we utilize in the Office of Residence Life.

    Residence Halls

    Residence Halls

    First-year students are assigned to rooms in one of Millikin’s four on-campus residence halls. Rooms come furnished with beds, desks and chairs, dressers, and closets. Amenities vary by hall, but typically include laundry facilities, vending machines, kitchen access, air conditioning, wireless Internet, cable TV, and secured access.

    Aston Hall

    Millikin’s historic Aston Hall opened in 1907 and features four traditional floors housing 100 residents. Aston Hall is known for its tall ceilings, large hallways, and community-style bathrooms – all newly updated in 2015. Named after James Millikin’s wife, Anna B. Aston Millikin, Aston Hall offers a select number of triple rooms on the fourth floor, where you can overlook campus from the tallest residence hall at Millikin.
