Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus housing is almost a nonexistent option at Wooster. Ninety-nine percent of students live on campus, and the College makes it difficult for any student who wants to opt out of campus housing. Students must apply to live off campus because housing costs are included in tuition costs. Students usually prefer to live on campus anyway, so they can be closer to their friends, classes, and activities. The College offers a number of options for housing including single dorm rooms, apartment-style housing, and program houses, so most students can find what they are looking for without going off campus.

The students that do choose to live off campus enjoy the experience. There are a few apartment complexes close to campus, so these students don’t have to look far for housing options. But they end up spending most of their time on campus because that is where their friends are.

Off-Campus Housing Is Minimal, Which Is a Good Thing!

Basically everyone lives off-campus, and it's a rumor mill when someone is not going to be on-campus. Wooster does a great job with the dorm choices that you have. Being from out-of-state, I thought it would be incredibly stupid for me to live off campus anyway, no matter if Wooster had good options.

Did You Know? The College of Wooster offers an Independent Senior Housing Option (ISHO) for seniors who want to experience life outside of the residence halls but aren't ready for the hassle of finding an off-campus apartment. Students fill out an application, and if accepted, sign a lease with the College and are placed into apartments on campus.
