Dorm Life

At Mission University, our traditional dorms are gender-specific and designed for students looking to live full-time on campus. Both dorms offer a supportive residential environment, free laundry and Wi-Fi, and Residential Assistants (RAs) who help build community and provide guidance throughout the year.

ON-CAMPUS HOUSING

Transitioning to college is a unique experience in which moving away from home can seem difficult for both the student and parent. On the other hand, perhaps as a married couple, living on campus eases the process of furthering your Biblical education. Students living on the campus of Mission University are offered the opportunity to not only be involved in the academic atmosphere, but are also able to engage in various resident life activities by living in on-campus housing. Whether it’s in the dorms or apartments, Mission U on-campus housing provides the college residential experience close to the classroom.
