Residence Life and Housing Services

elcome to Lewis University on-campus living!

At Lewis University, residence halls are more than a place to sleep and eat. They are extensions of the classroom; a place where students learn to appreciate diversity by living and working with people different from themselves. Students learn decision-making skills, develop independence, gain self-confidence, and learn to accept responsibility.

The Residence Life full-time professional staff lives on campus, including the Director of Residence Life, Assistant Director, and two Area Coordinators. Graduate Residence Life Coordinators are assigned to each hall, along with undergraduate Resident Assistants. The University Ministry staff, including undergraduate Peer Ministers, provides additional support and guidance to our resident students.
