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. You also benefit from having around-the-clock security, free maintenance services and many resources nearby. Those benefits allow you to focus entirely on academics and life-enhancing pursuits.

On-Campus Housing Options for 2022 – 2023

We are pleased to offer a variety of living environments to AU students:

  • Living-learning communities for some of our incoming first-year students (aka freshmen)
  • Apartment-style accommodations for students with senior status (90+ credit hours complete) 
  • A variety of room configurations (e.g. single-occupancy, double-occupancy, triple-occupancy) in various residence halls.

Apartments

We offer four-person apartments on the Ashland campus located on Samaritan Avenue.

There are also four- and five-person apartments on the Mansfield College of Nursing and Health Sciences campus that are available to students who are studying at that location.

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 participate in 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 fuller explanation of this process, see the Apartment Agreement, which you can find at housing.ashland.edu under “resources.”

Apartments Available in 2022 – 2023*

The following are the apartments available to students* this academic year:

Occupancy Location Number Available
4-person   33

*These do not include the College of Nursing Apartments, which are listed separately, nor do they include off-campus studio apartments.

What Residents Say About Living in Senior Apartments

"The senior apartments are beautiful and well-kept. My roommates and I love to hang out in our spacious living room and cook together in our nice kitchen. The apartments are my favorite place I've lived on campus!" — Haley

"We love having a cozy space that we can make our own and live comfortably in. Being in an apartment has been a great outlet for allowing us to invite friends over and be together."
— Tonya

"I love living in the senior apartments because it makes me feel more independent. There is a bigger sense of responsibility in an apartment and I love being able to customize it however we like!" — Paige

"I love living in the senior apartments because the apartment gives me more space, the freedom to cook all of my own meals, more space to entertain, private bathrooms and more privacy. Living here gives me a better sense of independence and the confidence to move out on my own after graduation." — Molly

"I really enjoy the extra room that the senior apartment offers; it really gives you an opportunity to make it your own." — Katherine

Residence Hall Apartments

Each apartment has a kitchen, bathroom and living area. The following images are examples of what you will find in our double-occupancy residence hall apartments.

 

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. There are two CONHS apartment buildings. Both are located directly behind the academic building.

The rooms are plain, but once you add your own touch, you will fall in love with your room! My room feels so cozy since we added our own touches to our room!" – Taylur and Emmalee

What Residents Say About Living in Myers

"We love Myers Residence Hall because of the spacious room layout and the amount of storage and shelf space. We also enjoy the big window that provides a beautiful view of the quad!" – Elizabeth and Mekenna

"Myers is a very spacious dorm with lots of social interactions within floors. Within the room[, in] our closets, the hanging bar goes all the way across to [provide] maximum space for clothing, along with a huge dresser. Keeping your beds in an L shape allows for most of the floor space to be free[,] giving the room a bigger feeling." – Jessica and Caylin
