Housing Resources

Resident Resources

At WSSU, we believe that your residential experience is a vital part of your growth as a student and leader. Housing and Residence Life is committed to creating inclusive, supportive communities where PRIDE lives and learning thrives beyond the classroom.

The below section provides key resources to help you navigate on-campus living, from laundry and cable to maintenance and more. If you have questions, reach out to your hall staff or contact the Office of Housing and Residence Life. We’re here to support your success every step of the way. 

Non-WSSU Affiliated Off-Campus Housing Resources

The Department of Housing and Residence Life at WSSU proudly houses over 3,000 Ram residents across nine on-campus communities and three university-managed off-campus properties, all listed on our Residential Facilities page. This percentage of residential bed spaces compared to total enrollment exceeds the national average across higher education.

While we strive to accommodate every student who wishes to live with us, growing enrollment may occasionally limit availability. Additionally, some students prefer private housing accommodations.

In response, we’ve developed non-affiliated partnerships with vetted local housing providers to help students and families explore safe, convenient off-campus options. Through our collaboration with College Pads, students can access a trusted off-campus housing marketplace featuring properties that are interested in supporting WSSU students. Additionally, we host an annual Off-Campus Housing Fair to connect students directly with leasing agents and property representatives.

Please note: These properties operate independently from WSSU and are not managed by the Department of Housing and Residence Life.
