Welcome to Ashland University Residence Life!
When you live on campus, you’re in the midst of all the action — from in-hall activities to concerts and guest lectures— so, it not only feels easier to take part in those events, it is easier. You’re also closer to classrooms, facilities such as the Rec Center, and most of the students who will become your friends, study partners and support network. Meanwhile, you benefit from having around-the-clock security, free maintenance services and numerous resources nearby. Those latter benefits allow you to focus entirely on life-enhancing pursuits and academics, which may be why students who live on campus traditionally perform better in the classroom than their off-campus peers.

Housing Options
We offer a variety of on-campus living environments:
- Living-learning communities which places students into housing together based on various groups established by the university
- Apartment-style accommodations for students on the Ashland campus or College of Nursing & Health Sciences Mansfield campus
- A variety of room configurations (e.g. single-occupancy, double-occupancy, triple-occupancy) in various types of residence halls.
All full-time undergraduate students (registered for 12 or more hours per semester) at Ashland University are required to live on campus. A student who meets at least one of the housing exemptions may apply for off-campus housing by submitting an off-campus housing application through the Office of Residence Life.
