Residence Halls

Live Close To Campus, Community, And Resources

Misericordia University offers a variety of housing options for students who wish to share in the invaluable experience of living in community. Our communities are built on respect, common courtesy, and responsibility.

The University manages nine residential facilities, all located on or very close to campus for easy access to University activities and resources.

Living In Community

Built Around Respect And Responsibility

Residence Hall Association

One of the most significant ways to involve yourself in your new community is through the Residence Hall Association, a consortium of residents in your hall or house who help organize and coordinate building activities.

Meal Plans

Meal plans are required of all students living on campus, keeping dining access simple for residential students.

Room Selection

First-year students are assigned to traditional halls. Upper-class students select rooms and roommates through the Lottery Selection Process held in April.
