Rockhurst aims to provide a safe and pleasant environment for all of our on-campus students. Rockhurst University, Troost campus only, has a residency requirement in which all full-time students must live with their parents/guardian or on campus unless they meet one or more of the following conditions:
- Students classified as a junior have completed 60 hours post high school with at least a "C" average or who have lived on campus for four semesters
- Students who are age 23 or older
- Students who have completed active, full-time military service
- Students who have a spouse or dependents living with them
Returning and older students have additional options such as the Townhouse Village (THV), furnished two-story apartments in a suite-style living community. Other options are Rock Row, which are bungalow-inspired townhome units divided into four "homes," each with four private bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, and a kitchen split between three levels, as well some University-owned houses.

Do Student Loans Cover Housing?
Yes! Student loans can be used to pay for room and board, which includes both on- and off-campus housing. Students can use money from their loans to pay monthly rent for their apartment and other forms of residence away from campus, as well as any on-campus housing.
