Student Life
Residence Life.
Residence life is an important part of the student life experience at Anderson University. We’re committed to providing a quality residential experience, driven by relationships, integrity, spiritual growth, and welcoming diversity. Our residence hall staff of professional resident directors (RDs) and student resident assistants (RAs) works hard to create communities in our halls that encourage personal and spiritual growth and a feeling of home.
Life On Campus
At Anderson University, we’re intentional about fostering inclusive, creative ways to enrich student learning and growth, where Ravens feel both welcome and known. No matter what hall you call home, you’ll find ongoing opportunities to meet people and discover AU’s rich, active community. Whether through life groups, Bible studies, courtyard wars, concerts and grilling on the lawn, the coffee house, mic nights, hall dinners, or AU Olympics, the residence halls are where real-life college memories are made.
You’re invited to read up on AU’s Student Life policies to help aid in a positive Residence Life experience, including respect, growth, fun, and laughter. Check out our residence hall tours below, as well as our numerous campus dining options. Students with food allergies or other health concerns can visit Health Services to learn how AU can accommodate any dietary needs.
