Current Student Frequently Asked Questions
How can I live off campus?
Manchester University is a residential campus, meaning that most of the student body lives within the residence
halls. Only students who fit into one of the following categories can be considered for off-campus housing:
- Classified as a senior with 92 credit hours completed and has lived on campus for at least six full semesters
- Non-traditional student (24 years or older, have a dependent, married)
- Living with parents at their primary residence within 40 drivable miles of the University and student is livingwith parents
If you fit into one of the categories, complete the Request to Live Off-Campus form and turn it into the Office of Residential Life in order to be considered.
What can I do if my roommate and I don’t get along?
If you’re having a roommate conflict, please see your Resident Assistant (RA) right away and brief them on the situation. RAs are trained to help you in tough situations. They will ask to schedule a mediation between you and your roommate where you will talk about your requests and problems as well as either propose or amend your Roommate Agreement. The Education for Conflict Resolution Center can also help mediate these and other situations. To contact them, call 260-982-4651 or 260-982-5354.
How can I arrange housing for next semester while I’m studying abroad?
