Welcome

A lot of what you learn in college happens outside the classroom. Because we believe valuable life lessons come from living in community, we’re a residential campus. Whether you choose to live in a hall, a small living unit (SLU), a theme house, or pledge a fraternity (sororities are non-residential), you’ll meet new friends and gain an appreciation for other cultures. You’ll also begin to make the decisions that go along with living away from home. If you need some help, Residential Life’s professional staff and student assistants will work with you to solve problems, deal with personal issues, and refer you to additional assistance if necessary.

As a residential campus, students make Ohio Wesleyan their home for all four years of their education.  It is our belief and philosophy that what makes an Ohio Wesleyan education distinct is the immersion and engagement in a residential community where leadership skills are honed, lasting friendships are made, and life lessons are learned – all which compliment their academic and classroom experiences.  Our hope is that no matter where you live at OWU, you will find a community that you are happy to call home.
