Living on Campus

Welcome to Residential Life at Westminster College!

Living on campus is an exciting and important part of the Westminster experience, and we are excited to help you find your place in our community. The Office of Residential Life & Conduct is committed to creating a residential environment that supports student success, personal growth, meaningful connections, and academic achievement.

At Westminster, learning extends beyond the classroom. Residence halls, apartments, townhouses, fraternity houses, and other residential communities provide opportunities for students to build relationships, develop independence, engage in campus life, and learn valuable life skills. Our work is guided by the College's values of integrity, fairness, respect, and responsibility.

As part of Westminster's residential experience, degree-seeking students are generally required to live in College-owned or College-approved housing. Students who may qualify for an exception should review the Residential Life Requirements for additional information.

If you have questions about housing, room selection, accommodations, or residential policies, please contact us at [email protected].

We look forward to welcoming you to campus and helping you make Westminster your home away from home.

Sincerely,
The Office of Residence Life & Conduct

“Westminster has taught me many things and before coming here I wouldn’t have ever thought about committing to doing anything seriously. But now, I’ve learned that in order to achieve something, I have to work hard and deserve it. Through group work and presentations I have learned leadership skills within the classroom. More specifically, they taught me to work as a member of a group as well as a leader, and how to do this without conflicts in the group. My involvement outside of the classroom in Greek life as well as through the West Wings internship I am being able to develop more as a speaker so that in the future my audience can understand me more clearly.”
