What are advantages to living on campus?
Be closer to the action! Our Residence Life team is here to help support you 24/7
with live-on professional staff, programming, and a 24-hour front desk. Our main dining
hall is located inside our University Center Residence Hall. Your meal plan also allows
you to eat in the Administration Building close to your classes. No need to pay high
membership fees. There is a fitness center located inside of the University Center
Residence Hall for students to use free of charge. Enjoy Wi-Fi throughout the campus
as well as full cable in every room.
If I cancel my contract, will my deposit get refunded?
No. The housing deposit is non-refundable.
Can I sign a one semester housing contract?
Housing contracts are signed for a full academic year (fall and winter semesters).
Mid-year (winter semester) contracts will be available if space permits. If the resident
will no longer be an enrolled student, the resident must apply for a contract release
with the Residence Life office. Releases are granted for the following reasons only:
withdrawal from MU, transfer to another school, graduation/program completion. The
contract will not be terminated for an enrolled resident to move off campus or commute
from home during the period of the contract. If a resident chooses to move out of
the residence hall without obtaining a contract release from the Residence Life office,
the resident continues to be financially responsible for all room and board charges
for the remainder of the academic year.
What do the rooms look like?
To see room layouts, please see the various residence halls under "Housing Options".
How will I find out my room assignment and roommate?
During the summer you will receive communication from the Office of Residence Life
notifying you that you can view your assignment and roommate information in the housing
portal.

How will you match me with a roommate?
You will fill out living habit questions on your Housing Application. The information
provided on your application is used to match you with a roommate based on your preferences
for noise, visitors, sleeping habits, and study habits.
Can I choose my roommate?
In the application you receive from the Office of Residence Life it will contain information
on how to request a roommate. You will need to know this student’s first and last
name. In order for roommates to be matched BOTH parties must request one another.
What happens if I do not get along with my roommate?
First, talk with your roommate about what is bothering you. Much of the time, problems
can be worked out simply by communicating directly with them. If that doesn't work,
speak with your RA and they can help you resolve the issue. At the beginning of the
semester, it is important to be genuine and honest with your roommate.
Is cable television available?
A TV connection is provided in each bedroom and each living room, but the university
is currently in the process of phasing out cable television inside student rooms to
focus on other amenities. Currently we offer over 80 different channels. If you need
help with your cable, please contact the help desk.
What type of laundry services are available?
Laundry rooms are located on the ground floor of the University Center and on each
floor of the LLC Center and Apartment Living Center. Laundry is free for all residential
students.
