Make Rowan Your Home
At Rowan University, we’re committed to creating safe, inclusive and welcoming residential spaces where you can relax and build community beyond the classroom. Our nine residence halls, six apartment communities and affiliated housing options are situated across our 200-acre campus in historic Glassboro, putting you close to academic buildings, recreation activities, student services and on-campus dining.
Across 11 dining locations and through our flexible meal plans, you’ll also have convenient, balanced food offerings to choose from, whether you’re grabbing a quick coffee or sharing a meal with friends. Together, these housing and dining experiences ensure you’re never far from the resources that support your academic and personal success.
Housing Requirements
Because community is such a core part of the Rowan experience, first- and second-year students are required to live on campus unless they commute from a parent or guardian’s home within 40 miles. Plus, research shows that students who live on campus often earn higher GPAs, get involved more and graduate on time—proof that your living environment can make a real difference in your success.
Residence Halls
Our nine first-year residence halls give you a built-in community and offer study lounges, social spaces and professional staff who support your success. They’re designed to help you settle into college life, meet new people and find your rhythm during your first years at Rowan.

On-Campus Apartments
Ideal for juniors, seniors and other upperclass students, Rowan’s six on-campus apartment buildings provide extra space and private bedrooms in some layouts for added flexibility. Living in these communities keeps you just steps away from classes, dining and campus resources while offering a more independent lifestyle.
