students in their dorm room

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. 

More information is available here: Rockhurst Student Housing Requirements

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.

How Many Student Dorms Are at Rockhurst?

There are three residence halls (McGee Hall, Corcoran Hall, Xavier-Loyola Hall) on campus, each with a chapel, laundry facility, computer lab, TV lounge, study rooms, and community recreation areas with activities like foosball, ping pong tables and pool tables. All residence halls feature access-controlled entry for student safety.

There are also two sets of townhouses – The Townhouse Village and Rock Row – and some houses owned by the university referred to as “On-Campus Houses,” all for upper-class students.

More information is available here: Student Housing at Rockhurst

How Much do College Dorms Cost?

All costs are listed in the Residence Life Housing Contract on the Administrative Forms page.
