Can first-year students live off campus at Southwestern University?

DIRECT ANSWER

Southwestern University requires first-, second-, and third-year students to live on campus unless an approved exception applies.

  • Eligibility depends on class year, not simply whether you found a lease.
  • The requirement generally covers the first three years.
  • Confirm any exception before signing off campus.

At Southwestern, the current residential model extends beyond the first year: first-, second-, and third-year students are generally required to live on campus. Verify your class year and any applicable exception before committing to private housing.
