鈥淚t was so convenient to be close to everything! Living on campus allowed me to become much more independent and to form intimate relationships with my classmates. My family was within commuting distance, but I knew that I would not get the fullness of the experience that I had at Meredith if I lived at home.鈥�

鈥淚 enjoyed living within walking distance to all of my classes and the safe atmosphere it entails. Living on campus made my experience the best because it allowed me to be active in so many ways. I was always surrounded by friends and felt like I always knew what was going on around campus.鈥�

Colbie Normann Stephens, 鈥�20

鈥淚 loved the excitement of living on campus 鈥� there was always something to do, whether it be a hall social or a tradition such as Corn, and a smiling face to see. I would always run into somebody I knew, even when I was just walking down the hall to get tea, and I loved it! Through living on campus, I became a part of a loving and tight-knit community here at Meredith.鈥�

Katie Thompson, 鈥�21

鈥淚 lived on campus all four years. It helped a lot as an athlete. We had late nights when we came home at 1 or 2 in the morning. Luckily for me, my 鈥渃ommute鈥� home was really short and quick. I think living on campus gave me the opportunity to get to know my class, as well as the younger classes, through face-to-face interaction. It allowed me to fall in love with the school more, especially walking back to the Oaks after Corn. That was always fun because we all ended up going back around the same time, and it was like extra bonding.鈥�

Are students required to live on campus?

缅北禁地 requires full-time undergraduate students under the age of 21 to live on campus for their first and second years, regardless of credit hours, unless they are commuting from the home of a parent or guardian who lives within a reasonable commuting distance to campus.

Can I pick my roommate?

At Meredith, you are not expected to find your own roommate. Our staff have years of experience pairing up students. The matches made by the staff are just as successful, sometimes even more successful, than self-selected roommates.

If you do find your own roommate through social media or another means, make sure you and your potential roommate have in-depth discussions about what it will be like to LIVE together, not just be friends. Those are two different discussion points. Here are some things to consider:

How do you communicate when something is bothering you?
What is your view on letting others borrow your belongings?
What are your study habits?
What do you consider a clean room?
How will you and your roommate negotiate the space in our room when it comes to having guests?

What are the rules about male guests?

Resident students may have male guests in the 1st floor parlor of their residence hall during hours the campus is open.

How do I send mail to a student living in one of the residence halls?
