Housing Options

Ohio Wesleyan has a variety of housing options including traditional residence halls, University-owned apartments, and fraternity houses (sororities are non-residential), as well as our unique Small Living Units and theme communities. 

Residence Halls Houses Apartments Small Living Units (SLUs) Theme Communities

Theme Communities

Theme Communities unite students in traditional residence halls who desire to create a network of peer support and engage in activities related to a specific theme.

Residence Halls

Conveniently positioned on the west side of campus, OWU's residence halls offer furnished spaces and many amenities.

Apartments

Bradford Milligan Hall is OWU's newest residence offering senior students a more independent living environment.

Small Living Units (SLUs)

SLUs are intentional communities of upper-level students who share an avid interest, explore it, and educate the campus about it.

Houses

This unique housing option is for upper-level students who want to intentionally engage with each other, often united by shared interests or culture.

Thriving on Campus

The mission of Residential Life is to provide safe, clean living environments centered on the needs of our students.  We aspire to foster progressive learning and growth towards independence.  Above all, we strive to cultivate inclusive spaces where all students belong, have fun...and THRIVE.
