Living on campus is an important part of your college experience. Our students are housed by class to build a sense of community among classmates. By living on campus, you’ll gain greater independence, strengthen your communication skills, and learn how to live within a community.
Here are some additional benefits of living in one of Meredith’s historic residence halls.
Convenience
You’ll be closer to your classes, avoid issues with traffic, and be near campus resources such as the learning center, dining hall, new fitness center, and athletic events.
Campus involvement
Being close to the action makes it easier to get involved – and research shows that it’s key to making friends and finding your place at college.
Enrichment
Every student who lives on campus is a member of the Residence Hall Association (RHA). Residence Life staff offer interesting and entertaining programs, speakers, and events to enhance the classroom experience. Each year, students involved with RHA have the opportunity to attend a statewide conference.
Inclusive cost
Room and board fees cover room rent, utilities, laundry machine use, a meal plan, and access to the campus health center.
Connect with classmates (outside of class)
Learn about different personalities and cultural backgrounds. Employers have come to expect global and intercultural fluency – and getting together for studying or class projects is easier.
Safety and security
Campus security and a residence director are on duty at all times. These resources can be accessed for anything from a general question to bathroom lockout or crisis.
Quiet hours
From 10 p.m. – 10 a.m. weekdays, quiet hours provide a more conducive environment for studying and sleeping.
Consistency
Many off-campus apartment complexes change ownership or management, which can cause headaches for residents. On campus, Meredith College is the landlord.
