Residence Life and Housing

On-campus living is part of the Pioneer journey—it’s where you’ll make friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. Staying up late, talking, studying and laughing. Binging on Netflix and video games. Challenging your roomies to board game tournaments. Discovering 50 ways to make ramen noodles. From traditional residence halls to suite-style units and apartments, Carroll has the perfect place for you to call home. All full-time students are required to live on campus until attaining senior status, with limited exceptions.*

*Students will still need an approved off-campus housing application if not normally exempt based on having 92 or more credits or are 23 years of age or older. For more information, view our Residency Requirement or email the Office of Residence Life and Housing with questions.

Apartments are available to students who are juniors and seniors. Graduate housing is also available to graduate students in the Hartwell Apartments.

Inclusive Housing

Carroll University defines Inclusive Housing as an inclusive, voluntary housing option where students can share a designated suite with other students regardless of sex, gender identity or gender expression. It is not intended for romantic cohabitation. Students who choose this housing option will be expected to contribute positively to the community by respecting other members’ motivations for choosing this housing option and by abiding by all University regulations outlined in the Student Handbook.

Living Learning Communities

A Living Learning Community or LLC is a community of students living within a residential floor or residence hall who are connected through an academic major or field of study. The LLC is intended to enhance the overall living experience within a residence hall by providing students with a close-knit community that supports academic success.

Carroll currently offers LLC programs to first-year students that include the Honors and Nursing communities.
