Ouachita Baptist University is committed to being a residential campus. The university sees its mission as educating students 24 hours per day, such that learning experiences are not limited to the classroom. Most students benefit academically, socially and emotionally from living on campus. In addition, the university has invested substantial capital to provide cost-effective, on-campus housing for all students. The university has been and remains committed to its policy that students who are not living with immediate family will live on campus. Research involving college students nationwide has shown that students who live in residence halls:
earn higher grades
are more likely to persist to graduation
build closer relationships with faculty, staff and fellow students
are more involved in student activities
have fewer emotional problems
report less conflict with parents
are more generally satisfied with their overall college experience
Residing in university housing required for eligibility for Ouachita financial aid.
Because of this philosophy, all unmarried students are required to live in university housing as long as space is available. There are some exceptions to this rule. If you fit one (or more) of the exceptions below, please select all that apply:
