On-Campus Housing

Welcome to Residence Life

Living in community is a rewarding opportunity to build relationships and accountability. It also presents unique challenges—including learning to balance selflessness with self-care. At ACU, a variety of residential housing options and resources contribute to your thriving on campus.

Students arrive at ACU from every state and from over 60 nations. At its best, living in community encourages new ideas, student development, dialogues and personal growth. It is here that students are stretched, inspired and called to the transformative life of following Christ in community.

Core Value Statement: We believe every person is created in the image of God and that they deserve a safe home where they can belong and grow.

Mission Statement: We provide students with opportunities to grow in a safe, inclusive and relational home.
