WELCOME TO LIVING ON CAMPUS. IT’S AN AWESOME EXPERIENCE. The John Carroll University Office of Residence Life manages seven residence halls, and multiple off campus duplexes. We use programming and mentoring to foster dialogue around diversity and inclusion, support faith and spirituality formation, and inspire responsible decision making. The Residence Life staff — professionals and peers — support student growth and development inside and outside the classroom. Because we are invested in the residential experience, JCU students will live on campus for four years. Research shows that more than choosing a major, student success hinges on an ability to develop meaningful relationships. These relationships can come in different forms: classmate, teammate, work study friend, writing tutor, faculty advisor, counselor, residence hall leader and very often, roommates.
