Housing

After you confirm your enrollment, you can sign up for on-campus housing. You can choose from residence halls designed for first-year students, with multiple dining options throughout campus, or opt for one of our Living-Learning Communities to live with other freshman students who have similar interests.
Marshall University has a two-year residency requirement for all freshmen and sophomores who live outside of a 50-mile radius, so signing up for housing is a required step. The housing deposit is currently being waived for incoming freshmen.
Local students who will be living at home with their parents and commuting to campus must fill out an authorization to commute request.
