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.
Our Mission
The Residence Life Office is committed to creating a welcoming community that promotes learning, service, citizenship, diversity and integrity. We are also committed to making continuous improvements and to maintaining a safe living environment that is conducive to all students’ development.
