Campus Housing
Once you decide to come and study at Winthrop University you will then need to find a place to live while you are here. The two options are to live "on-campus" in one of Winthrop University's Residence Halls or to live "off-campus" in a rented apartment or house.
Freshman and sophomores have a two year commitment to live on campus. By living on campus, students have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish lifelong friendships, to participate in exciting activities and to feel truly connected to the University. The added convenience of living close to classes, dining and support services, make on-campus living at Winthrop the ideal environment to live, learn and lead. The campus is small and safe, so everything you need will be within easy walking distance.
Exceptions to the freshman and sophomore residency commitment may be made for married or non-traditional age freshman and for those who continue to live with parents or legal guardians while commuting to campus from 50 or fewer miles away. The residency requirement exemption must be formally approved by Residence Life prior to housing arrangements being made off-campus.
If you choose to live off-campus, there are several apartment complexes located within walking distance to Winthrop. If you need more information about off-campus accommodations please contact the International Center.
