Housing Information

Residence Life

The residence hall community is designed to provide you with meaningful relationships and programming that will shape your educational experience at MBI. The Residence Life staff is committed to supporting you as you continue to develop mental, spiritual and social maturity. On each floor, there is a Resident Assistant (RA), a student selected to serve as a leader and resource person. A Resident Director (RD), who is a full-time professional, lives in each residence hall and supports the campus living experience.

By purposefully mixing majors, ages and academic years on each floor, our desire is that older students mentor younger students and that everyone develops healthy relational skills by daily interacting with people who have different perspectives. As Christians, we believe that living in community is one of the ways that God refines and develops our character.

Requesting Residence Preferences

All new single students will automatically be housed in an open space in one of our residence halls. You may send your preferences by submitting this form. This form includes requesting your preferred residence hall and floor. There is also a roommate preference section. Housing requests must be submitted by July 3rd. If you would like to submit a request after this date, please contact housing@moody.edu. In addition, if you require any ADA accommodations, please email Allen Hammond (allen.hammond@moody.edu) at your earliest convenience. Please request these at your earliest convenience.

We cannot always guarantee that we can approve your request. The Residence Life staff will work hard to house you based on available space. 

After housing is complete, you will receive information via email about how to view your room and roommate assignment on the My.Moody Student Portal (https://my.moody.edu). As part of your check-in during orientation, Residence Life will provide your room keys upon arrival.

Married housing on-campus is in high demand and very limited. If you would like information about married housing, please email housing@moody.edu.
