Residence Life

Living on campus provides some of the most memorable moments of your college experience. Carthage's residence halls offer an exciting environment for living and learning. Our halls provide easy access to educational programs, leadership opportunities, and a full calendar of social activities.

Community

At Carthage, we encourage you to become a member of our close-knit community. Each residence hall floor reflects the interests of the students who live there. You and your floor members will make decisions about everything, from study hours to intramurals. Participation in residence life is a vital part of your intellectual development. Consider it a live-in classroom, with highly trained staff for support and advice.

Campus Living Options

Carthage has 11 residence halls, nine of which are coed. Each hall comprises students from a variety of academic years, building a unique campus unity beyond class-year affiliations. Carthage's halls offer traditional single-gender floors as well as Greek interest floors. In addition, study-intensive wings provide an atmosphere conducive to academic study. Suite-style rooms, which consist of a living room, a bedroom and a bathroom, are located in most halls.
