Residence Life and Housing

Our residence halls, home to more than 3,000 students, are among the best in Ohio. For students, you will find that residence hall life enriches your learning and social opportunities.

Safety is always a priority. We have a highly trained staff in each of the residence halls on duty around the clock to help ensure student safety and well-being. All doors to our residence halls are secured at all hours, and card access is required to enter.
