Union University is a residential institution which seeks to express its liberal arts philosophy in many ways, especially in and through the residential experiences of its students. For this reason, Union is committed to rigorously pursuing the development of a quality four-year residential program which genuinely seeks to expose each student to the finest living-learning situation university resources will permit.

Living on campus provides the student with unique opportunities and challenges not available in any other type of residential community. Within this context, the residence life staff is committed to the idea of personal growth; it is with this framework that services and programs are provided. Each student is encouraged to become actively involved in his/her growth process.

Recently in Residence Life

This past semester many changes were made in Residence Life to accommodate students after the tornado of February 5th. We are grateful that God provided a place for each of our students to live, whether on or off campus. To learn more about the spring semester of 2008, visit the tornado coverage page. As always, if you have questions about housing, please contact The Office of Residence Life at 731.661.5433 or reslife@uu.edu.
