Living on campus is an integral part of the education experience at Carroll College. All unmarried students are required to live on campus for the first two years and are encouraged to live on campus all four years. The only exceptions are for extreme financial hardship as evidenced from the student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) report, a medical condition that Carroll College is not able to accommodate evidenced by the medical case file and a letter from a physician, or if the student delayed enrollment in college by three or more years beyond high school graduation. All students residing at the campus must also have a meal plan at the college. The choice of meal plans is determined by year in school and residence hall.
