Residential Life & Explorations
Applying for Housing
Students will benefit from a residential life program that is fully committed to empowering students to make the most of their experience in the residential facilities. More than 65 percent of Rollins students live on campus in our residential facilities, which range in format from traditional residence halls to apartments.
