Virtual Tour - Housing
On-campus housing allows students to fully immerse themselves in the campus culture. See for yourself using Lindenwood's Virtual Tour.
We strive to provide quality residential communities that encourage residents’ personal and professional growth and development.
Lindenwood offers a wide variety of choices for students who opt to live on campus. Available are traditional style dorms and non-traditional, off-campus apartments and houses for upperclassman. You'll also enjoy exciting new meal options in the Lindenwood University dining halls.
Residential Life gives students a chance to be involved, meet lifelong friends, and be a part of a supporting community, by encouraging students to participate in academic, athletic, and social activities. Lindenwood University views residential life as an opportunity to live with others of various ages, cultural backgrounds, and personal interests.

Freshman Residency Requirement
Research has shown that freshmen who reside on campus in residence halls are more successful in their collegiate experience than students who commute to campus. For this reason, Lindenwood University requires all incoming first-time full time freshmen (regardless of the amount of college credits earned while in high school) to reside in a designated freshmen resident hall for the academic year. Choice of housing is competitive and is assigned on a first-come first-serve basis.
Freshman Residency Exemption Request
New freshmen students may apply for an exemption to the Freshman Residency Policy based on inclusion in one or more of the categories below:
- Married
- Single parent
- Active duty military
- 21 years old or older
Students who do not wish to live on campus AND who fall into one of the categories mentioned above should complete and submit the exemption form, which can be found on the Residential Life homepage. Exemption appeals must be received in the Office of Residential Life by July 1st for the fall semester and December 1st for the spring semester.
Students who do not qualify for an exemption as a member of one of the categories above may submit a written appeal to the Director of Residential Life.
Incoming Freshman for the Fall 2019 term will be able to access the housing application on March 1, 2019.
