Living on the Culver-Stockton College Campus

 

See our campus life pages for more complete student life information.

Where can I live?
All students under the age of 24 are required to live on campus unless they live with their parents who live within 50 miles of the college. Living on campus enables you to become an integral part of our campus community.

What are the residence hall accommodations like?
We provide amenities for a productive environment to get the most from your college experiences. See our residence halls list from our campus life page to learn more.

What should I bring?
Each of the residence hall rooms on campus are provided with: twin extra-long-sized beds, dresser space, desks, desk chairs, closet space, window coverings, and mirrors. Additionally, all residence halls have wireless internet access throughout the buildings.

As an international student, it can be difficult to bring all the items you may want. Often, international students will have packages shipped to them ahead of time to the Admissions Office so that they are here when they arrive. You are encouraged to bring the basic supplies you will need to get set up in your room such as one set of sheets and a towel, and buy the rest of these items once you get here. Coats, heavy jackets, gloves, and warm boots are essential in the winter and can be bought locally. Items listed here on Culver-Stockton’s Residence Life website may be purchased locally and will add to the comfort of the room.

It is possible to travel within and outside of the United States. during the breaks. However, students must check with the International Student Advisor regarding current U.S. government rules and regulations in order to maintain your student visa.
