Living On BW's Campus

Discover life on campus at Baldwin Wallace - imagine waking up in your residence hall in the morning, grabbing a quick breakfast with a friend, followed by a short walk to your first class of the day. By living on campus, you'll easily make connections and stay involved, plus everything you need is nearby - from grocery shopping to restaurants to the library. Living on BW's campus means you'll be surrounded by the support of faculty and peers throughout your academic journey.

Beginning with the incoming class of fall 2023, all full-time students are required to live on campus their first three years entering Baldwin Wallace University. Residency exemptions are made for commuting students who are living with their family or have other qualifying circumstances. Apartment and house options are available to third-year students and higher.
