Living in the residence halls is a great way to experience all that Ole Miss has to offer. Students living on campus are more involved in campus life, make better grades and form friendships with a wider variety of people. Living in the residence halls is affordable and convenient. Living on campus allows you to concentrate on your studies instead of worrying about monthly bills, parking and what you will do for dinner. Each hall is staffed with a residence hall director (RHD), and at least one resident assistant (RA) is on each floor. Each hall has controlled card-reader access, fire extinguishers and a fire security system. Housing staff are available around the clock to help maintain a safe and secure environment.
Once you are admitted to Ole Miss, you can apply for housing. An online application is available to admitted students at www.housing.olemiss.edu. The application requires a $75 nonrefundable deposit to reserve your place in campus housing. The sooner you return the completed application/contract and $75 nonrefundable deposit, the more likely it is that we will be able to assign you to your preferred hall with your preferred roommate. Please remember that all students with less than 30 credit hours are required to live in campus housing their first year. If you have more than 30 hours or meet certain commuter guidlines, you have the option to live on or off campus, but many find it especially helpful to live on campus as they are making the transition to the university community.
