Housing and Residential Education

Students who live on campus at Reinhardt University find themselves in the middle of campus life with easy access to their classes, the library, and performing arts, recreational and athletic facilities.

Living on campus is a vital part of the college experience and aids the student’s adjustment to college. Most importantly, living on campus provides students with more opportunities to interact with faculty and friends, get involved in campus activities, and access campus resources, increasing the likelihood of his or her overall success.

Your stay on campus will be one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences of your college career. We encourage all students to consider becoming a residential student as the benefits are tremendous.

At Reinhardt, friendships develop quickly, but they are long lasting. Students, faculty and staff are close knit, and living on campus will give you the opportunity to take another step toward independence. Moving away from home helps you learn more about yourself and about others. We embrace diversity and encourage you to discover your own path in life. The time you spend in a residence hall will be a time of personal, emotional and spiritual growth. Whether you are hanging out with your roommate, studying with friends, or deciding which Waffle House to visit for a much needed study break, each day will offer you new and exciting opportunities.
