Housing & Dining

Making a home away from home is what campus residential life is all about. It’s also about enjoying new surroundings and learning to live in harmony with individuals who don’t share your DNA.

Because a lot of your education will happen outside the classroom, Ohio Wesleyan asks students to live on campus all four years. On a residential campus like ours, you’ll interact easily and often with other students, faculty, and staff.

Through everyday activities or special events, you’ll quickly become a part of the OWU community and find ways to make your own contributions here. You’ll learn leadership skills, make lasting friendships, get comfortable with making decisions—all of which will complement your academic endeavors.

Regardless of where you live on campus, you’ll build the invaluable connections that highlight a liberal arts education.
