University Housing and Residential Life

All incoming, full-time Arts and Sciences and Engineering first-year and second-year students are required to live in university housing.

There are five residence halls set aside as first-year housing: the Alumni Memorial Residences—AMR I, II, III A, and III B—and Wolman Hall. Your student might also live in McCoy Hall, which has three wings dedicated to first-year students. The Office of Housing Operations is committed to providing quality facilities and services to students, and strives to create a safe, comfortable, developmental, and educational living environment. While living in campus housing, Blue Jays experience all that residential life has to offer—a fun and sometimes challenging experience that fosters personal growth and the development of important interpersonal skills. Living with strangers can be tough (at first), but the Residential Life team helps make it not only possible but also fun! Your student will have a Resident Advisor living on their hall who is there to foster friendships among the residents, offer programming, and ensure everyone’s safety. RAs go through rigorous training and are knowledgeable about housing and university policies as well as the many resources available to your student at JHU. If your student has a problem (for example, a disagreement with their roommate), the RA is there to help. There is also a full-time, master’s-level professional living in each residential cluster. This Residence Director is always available and serves as another great resource for your student.
