FAQs about Housing

Yes, all residence halls at Marian University are air conditioned.

Doyle Hall and Drew Hall rooms may switch between heat and air conditioning based on students' preferred schedule. 

Caito-Wagner Hall, University Hall, and Clare Hall all switch from air conditioning to heat, and vice versa, as one time.  Students in these residence halls will be emailed when the flip occurs.  

In the residence halls, Caito-Wagner, Clare, Drew, Doyle, and University Halls, furniture is provided by University Loft. Each room includes one height-adjustable bed frame, a twin extra long (twin XL) mattress, desk and desk chair, clothes closet, and a dresser for each resident. Furniture MUST remain in rooms and may not be removed. There are no couches or tables in any residence hall rooms, including Drew Hall.

Caito-Wagner Hall rooms will have either two small dressers per student or one large dresser per student.

Drew Hall rooms will have wardrobes in lieu of dressers and closets.

Third floor Clare Hall rooms have build-in desks rather than stand-alone desks.

The on-campus houses and graduate apartments do not come furnished. Students must supply all furniture they wish to have in their on-campus home in these communities. 

You can do your laundry free of charge in our residence halls, as the price for usage is included in your housing cost. Laundry rooms are located in the lowest level of each residence hall.

Because the machines can be used free of charge, we encourage students to use multiple machines rather than attempt to pack a machine full of clothes and overfill it.  Overfilling washers and dryers can lead to both clothing and machine damage.

If you notice that a washer or dryer is malfunctioning, please notify your RA or submit a work order to have it fixed. You will need to include the machine number (printed on a sticker on the machine).

Here is more information about doing laundry on campus:

1. All residence hall washers and dryers were replaced during the summer of 2021. 
2. Machines are high efficiency and do not need much detergent.
3. Overfilling the machines may damage your clothes and the machine.
4. Laundry left in the laundry rooms for more than 24 hours may be considered abandoned property and will be discarded.
5. Every campus house has a washer and dryer. Models differ house to house.

Thank you for helping us keep our machines and laundry rooms in good shape!

All housing and enrollment deposits can be paid here. 

Residential students are required to submit a housing deposit before moving on to campus. This $200 deposit rolls over from one year to the next, for as long as the student lives on campus. Once a student moves off campus, the deposit is credited back to the student, pending damage fees. Housing deposits must be paid in order to be cleared for KnightQuest. Students must be KnightQuest cleared before moving onto campus.
