Roberts Wesleyan University has dedicated on-campus housing options for full-time graduate students. Whether your classes are onsite or online, we hope you’ll enjoy the full benefits of being a part of this community of graduate learners!
From access to campus amenities to learning alongside others in your program, our graduate student housing options can open new opportunities for you.
My favorite aspect of living on campus as a graduate student is the sense of community. Spending time in community spaces with students my age or even undergrad students is fun and refreshing.
Mitchell J., resident graduate student
The Office of Residential Life has designated Beeson Apartments and Morrow Hall as housing options for graduate students. Depending on availability, graduate students can request either a shared or single room.
As an adult, in this culture, I am expected to move into an apartment and start living independently, but having the campus still care and provide for my needs as a young person learning to live independently is great. This campus supports me as a student and a young adult, taking steps to get into the "real world."
