Where else besides living on campus can you walk to dinner, find a study partner in minutes, have internet and basic cable services provided, and a lounge to hang out with friends? Living on campus is a great way to get involved in campus life. The services and resources offered to students on campus are great!

All full-time traditionally enrolled students are required to live in residential housing. Any student who will be of junior or senior academic status by the first day of fall term, 22 years of age, married, or commuting from his/her parents' home within a 30-mile radius of the campus is eligible to live off campus. For more information on rates, see Housing Rates. For more information on residency expectations, see Policies & Community Living.

The housing options are many. Upperclass students may choose from apartments, traditional residence halls or theme housing. New students have a variety of locations in our traditional residence halls from which to select. Check out what residence life at Otterbein has to offer!
