We offer exciting opportunities to build life-long friendships, 24/7 support & academic success!🐧

The Office of Housing & Residence Life at Youngstown State University would like to be your home away from home while you are on campus. We believe that living on campus greatly enhances your YSU education and provides a fuller college experience. Whether you are an out-of-town or local student, you will find a residential campus community that fosters academic success and personal growth. You’ll also find that living on campus offers you independence and comfort. Students tell us one of the best things about living on campus is that you meet so many people and learn so much about yourself and others. We encourage you to come home to YSU and discover how beneficial living on campus can be.
