Housing & Dining
Memories and friendships that will last a lifetime are part of our Campus Living tradition. We are committed to providing a residential experience that enriches learning and growth beyond the classroom.
Residence Life provides a dynamic and diverse community to meet fellow students and develop life-long relationships, while providing easy access to the many resources that the University provides. This means less stress, which allows you to focus on academic goals. The residency requirement requires all students to live on campus for their first two years at Shenandoah.

Wellness at Shenandoah is about more than physical health. While we maintain an outpatient health center that provides primary and acute care, health education and prevention services, that’s not all we do to support your overall wellness. Our counseling center offers individual and group sessions, and campus safety keeps our community secure.
