At Rockhurst, our freshmen always live on campus, but many older students choose to stick around too. It’s easy to see why, too!
Skip traffic, parking, and a commute
Don’t want to pay for a parking pass? Want to roll out of bed and get to class quickly? Living on campus is the way to go! Many students find that student life gets a lot simpler the closer you are to campus, and you can’t get any closer than the dorms. Unless you live in the basement of Massman…
Be close to campus amenities
Always wanted to live close to a gym? The MAC is just for students and is regularly cleaned right on campus. Want great food for all three meals? Our dining hall and Roasterie locations on campus are fantastic options and part of your paid meal plan. Love taking a walk when it’s nice outside? Our wonderful campus is perfect to walk around at any time of day. Want a personal masseuse to come to your room daily? Make sure your roommate is nice and a PT student.
Get involved
It’s much easier to get involved in campus activities when you live there. Rockhurst has tons of great clubs, organizations, and Greek life for you to explore. Attending evening events can be a pain if you live off-campus, and late-night studying can result in dangerous drives back home while tired. Wouldn’t you rather take a short walk back to your comfy bed and fall asleep faster than you can say “just gotta set my alarm”?
