    First-Year Housing

    Research of college students across the nation indicates that students who live on campus are more satisfied with their college experience, earn higher grade-point averages and are more likely to graduate. 

  • Housing Options

    All students must live in approved housing for at least three years, which includes three on-campus residence halls, seven Living-Learning Communities, fraternity and sorority housing and The Woods at Millikin apartment complex. Students wishing to live off-campus must meet specific criteria and submit an off-campus petition to the Office of Campus Life.
