Residence Halls
Most first-year students live in Dolan, Hamlin, or Campion, close to classmates, dining, classes, and the routines that help campus start to feel familiar.
When you join the JCU community, you get the full college experience.
The residential experience is the heart of a JCU education. Most students live on campus all four years, and this is intentional. Being part of a supportive community is proven to contribute to academic success. It’s also convenient. You’ll be close to class, club meetings, and coffee.
Four years. Four ways to live.
Housing options expand each year — from your first-year hall to apartment-style living — while you stay close to class, friends, and everything in between.

After your first year, housing selection expands with additional residence hall and suite-style options available through the student housing selection process.
