On-Campus Housing Options
For first-year students we provide rooms in residence halls that are strictly for first-year students and rooms in some of the halls that allow students from other classes (e.g. sophomores and upperclassmen). Most first-year students reside in Kem hall. Students who are part of a living-learning community are placed into housing together based on various groups established by the university.
In addition to our apartments and residence halls, there are also rooms in fraternity houses and the USA House.
Four-person apartments, located on Samaritan Avenue, are available to students living on the Ashland campus. Four- and five-person apartments on the Mansfield College of Nursing campus are available to students who are enrolled in the undergraduate nursing program, PA program and accelerated nursing programs. If you live in an apartment, you may still select any meal plan, but if you have senior status (90+ credit hours) you may opt out of having a meal plan. All apartments feature full kitchens and two full bathrooms, as well as outdoor spaces.
We offer limited housing, subject to availability, for students enrolled in a graduate program and students with families:
- CONHS Graduate & Family Apartments located on the College of Nursing and Health Sciences campus in Mansfield, OH: To be eligible for this style of housing, students must be enrolled in a graduate-level Nursing program, or be a student in an undergraduate Nursing program with a spouse and/or dependent child.

Residence Halls
Each residence hall on campus is staffed with Resident Assistants - student leaders who are active in the hall community and will invest in you and your AU experience. We’re also proud to say that each residence hall on campus has a hall council — a student-run group that plans programs for the hall’s residents and recommends changes and upgrades to the hall’s facilities and policies.

Apartments
Ashland Campus (Senior) Apartments
We offer four-person apartments on the Ashland campus located on Samaritan Avenue. If you live in an apartment, you may still select any meal plan, but if you have senior status (90+ credit hours) you may opt out of having a meal plan.
Apartment Selection
Students select their apartments through an apartment lottery in the spring prior to the academic year in which they plan to reside there. The selection order for the apartment lottery is determined by a point-system based on GPA, credit hours and student conduct history. The apartment applications with the highest scores receive earlier lottery times, followed by those with lower scores in descending order. For a full explanation of this process, see the Apartment Agreement, which you can find at housing.ashland.edu under “resources.”

College of Nursing and Health Sciences (CONHS) Apartments
If you are a nursing or health science student, you may reside in housing on the main campus or at the Mansfield College of Nursing and Health Sciences campus. Many students choose to spend the first two years on the main campus and then, during their last two years when classes take place on the Mansfield campus, move into CONHS apartments. The CONHS apartment buildings are located directly behind the academic building.
Located at 1081 Marion Avenue on our Mansfield campus, each apartment comes furnished and has 5 small bedrooms and 2 shared bathrooms, with an open floor plan for the living room and full kitchen (fridge, stove/oven, and microwave included). Each apartment also has a patio/balcony. All main campus eligibility requirements and policies apply to the 1081 apartments. These policies are located in the Student Handbook.
