Housing Options
Grace offers a variety of options for living on campus. These include four different residence halls, married housing, and our new townhomes that were completed in 2022. Living at Grace means you’ll have quick access to the classes and chapel. You’ll also be just a short walk away from the dining hall, commons, library, and the much-loved Kahawa Cafe.
Single students who are enrolled in at least six credit hours are required to live either at the university, with a Grace staff member, or at home with a parent or guardian.
Students who have completed four semesters of post-high school college, however, are able to live off campus if they prefer.
The variety of living options at Grace provide ample opportunity to connect with fellow students while receiving a Christ-centered education.
