Residential Life

Living on campus at JWU gives you the opportunity to experience the best of Providence in a close-knit community. More than half of students live on campus.

Most of our residence halls are centrally located. The Downcity Campus, in the heart of Providence, houses students from all colleges.

The Harborside Campus, which overlooks Narragansett Bay, primarily houses Culinary Arts students.

Our 11 residence halls offer traditional rooms, suites and apartment community living. Whether you’re looking for a single or a suite, a social whirlwind or a close-knit atmosphere, there’s a hall to meet your needs.

All rooms have cable and Internet access. Laundry facilities are on-site.

Residential Life will help you do more than just settle in, with a range of programs and leadership opportunities to help you get involved on campus. Staff members help you with roommate, community living and campus resources. Contact Residential Life for more information.

Once You've Moved In
At the start of term, we encourage all roommates in a suite to fill out the Roommate Agreement (225K PDF), to establish ground rules and open communication. Your RA will be stopping by during "Love Your Roommate Week" to review and finalize it with you.
