Did you know that students who live on campus during their undergraduate career experience higher academic success and are more likely to graduate? At MACU, we encourage ALL undergraduate students to join our thriving residential community. Living on campus is an important way to make lifelong friendships, develop better study habits, grow in your faith, and get involved in campus life.
We have a team of committed student Resident Assistants (RAs) who assist in managing the Residence Halls and invest in the lives of the students in our community. There are two Resident Assistants who live on each floor of the Residence Halls to serve the needs of students.

Housing FAQ
Southwest Hall is for male students, McCutcheon Hall is for our female students, and Harrington Hall is co-ed by room assignment.
Yes, only on-campus students have key-card access to the buildings. Each floor also is access controlled.
Absolutely! You will need to contact the Office of Residential Housing at (405) 692-3247 or [email protected] to change your roommate request. In order for your request to be honored, your anticipated roommate will need to make the request as well.
Yes, you will need to indicate that preference on your Housing Form. In order for your request to be honored, your anticipated roommate will need to make the request as well. You may also indicate your preference in suitemates (who you will share a bathroom with).
Absolutely! While we do believe new students will have a more enjoyable experience rooming with other new students, we realize that there are often times outside circumstances that make it much more appealing to live with an upperclassmen student. In order to be placed with an incoming student, just indicate so on the Housing Form. To be considered, the current student will need to make the same request.
All new students will need to fill out the New Student Housing Form. Housing requests are honored in the order in which they are received (and the student is enrolled).
New students are housed based on the date of submission of their Housing Form. In other words, early bird gets the worm! When two students are paired together as roommates, we will use the earliest submission date of the two.
Students may use tacks, push pins, command strips, and command hooks to hang decorations on their walls.
Don’t worry! We’ve got it all under control. We will use the questions on your Housing Form to give you the best match possible! For this reason, it’s very important to be honest on the form.
If you need special housing accommodations, please contact our Accommodations Officer at [email protected].
