Living On Campus

Because Muskingum is a residential college, all undergraduate students are required to live on campus and participate in the college board plan. Seniors and juniors may apply for off-campus housing through the Student Life Office. Exceptions are made for students who commute from their homes or are married. Additionally, no student 25 years of age or over may reside on campus without prior approval from the Student Life Office. First-year and transfer room assignments are mailed in mid-summer and include the student’s hall, room number, phone number and name and address of their assigned roommate.

The Student Life Office will also assist graduate students who are interested in living in or about the New Concord community by providing a list of known community accommodations and advising students on resources to support their search for lodgings.

Residence Halls Association (RHA) serves as a link between the residence halls staff and residents to further enhance the residential living and learning environment. RHA develops activities and programs for residential students to enhance the on-campus living atmosphere and promotes facility improvements which address student interests. You can learn more about residential association at NACURH and NRHH web sites.
