On-Campus Housing Options
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.
One of two first-year student residence halls, Amstutz Hall has 7 floors, each with a laundry room for student’s convenience and a lounge area for relaxing or hanging out with friends. Located at the intersection of Jefferson and Broad streets, Amstutz Hall is next to the John C. Myers Convocation Center and the pedestrian bridge to the Hawkins-Conard Student Center and is across from the football stadium.
Home of the Ashbrook LLC, Andrews Hall has 2 floors for students in the Ashbrook Scholar program. Each floor is equipped with lounge areas, kitchens, and a laundry room for students to use. Conveniently located on Claremont Avenue, Andrews Hall is next to the street entrance of the John C. Myers Convocation Center and the crosswalk where Claremont, King, and College Avenues all meet.
Clayton Hall has 8 floors that have been fully renovated with in-suit bathrooms and air conditioning throughout, as well as study rooms on each floor. In the basement, students have access to a kitchen and an additional lounge area. Located on King Road, Clayton Hall is across the street from the Recreation Center and Intramural Fields.
Reserved for female students only and home to our sorority suites, Clark Hall has 5 floors, 4 of which have laundry rooms. A newly remodeled kitchen with 2 ovens is also available to students. Lounges with televisions can also be found on each floor for students to relax or hang out with friends. Clark Hall is located off King Road behind Kilhefner Hall and close to the Archer Library.
One of two first-year student residence halls, Kem Hall has 6 floors, each of which has a laundry room for students’ convenience and a lounge area for relaxing or hanging out with friends. Located at the corner of Jefferson Street and Claremont Avenue, Kem Hall is next to the John C. Myers Convocation Center and the pedestrian bridge to the Hawkins-Conard Student Center, and close to the Football Stadium.
Located on King Road, directly across from both the Recreation Center and the Hawkins-Conard Student Center, Kilhefner Hall consists of 5 floors, all of which have lounges with televisions for students to relax and hang out with friends. Students can use the laundry room located on the first floor. Kilhefner Hall is considered the “buyout” hall, meaning students can pay an increased cost and receive a larger room.
Myers Hall houses students on 3 floors, each of which has a laundry room for students’ convenience. On the ground floor, students can find a television lounge and a kitchen area. An additional oversized lounge area consisting of two separate areas where students can relax, mingle, or study is available through the doors as you enter off the quad. Myers Hall is located off King Road next to Clayton Hall and behind Clark Hall and is near the Recreation Center, the Archer Library and the Quad.
On-Campus Houses
In addition to our apartments and residence halls, there are also rooms in fraternity houses and USA House.
Fraternity Houses
USA House
The USA house, located at 658 Olympic Circle, is available for those with military affiliation.

Apartments
Ashland Campus 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.”
What Residents Say About Living in Ashland Campus 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 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
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.
Located at 1071 Marion Avenue on our Mansfield campus, each apartment comes unfurnished and has 2 spacious bedrooms and private 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. Only graduate students and students with a legal spouse and/or dependent children are eligible to live in 1071. Residents are allowed 1 pet (no ESA approval needed, but there is a $200 pet deposit required).
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. Anyone is eligible to live in 1081. Residents must complete the ESA approval process to have an animal in the residence hall.
