Undergraduate Housing

Carthage’s residence halls offer an exciting environment for living and learning. Each of our large, traditional residence halls has first-year communities, a few Greek-affiliated floors, and is overseen by a live-in professional staff member and a team of student staff. Our halls provide easy access to educational programs, leadership opportunities, and a full calendar of social activities.
The best collegiate experience is one where the curriculum and co-curriculum are seamlessly integrated. With this value in mind, full-time undergraduate students are required to live in the residence halls and be enrolled in a meal plan. Students who qualify for commuter status are exempt from living on campus if they so wish.
