Can first-year students live off campus at St. Edward's University?
DIRECT ANSWER
St. Edward’s requires students to live on campus for two years unless they live with a parent or legal guardian within a 20-mile driving distance of campus or receive another approved exemption.
- The published requirement covers two years.
- The parent or guardian exception uses driving distance, not a simple map radius.
- Complete the university exemption step before leasing.
At St. Edward’s, the current published rule requires two years of on-campus living for most students. A parent or legal-guardian residence within a 20-mile driving distance is a stated exception path. Confirm the exemption through the university before committing to a private lease.
