CINCINNATI

Cincinnati is centrally located in the heart of the American Midwest at the midway point of the Ohio River. It offers residents and visitors a surprising combination of both big city attractions and small town charm.

Xavier is located in a city neighborhood about five miles north of downtown, making it convenient to get to all the action. Choose from professional sports, top-notch restaurants, eclectic neighborhoods and a vibrant Fountain Square where events are scheduled nearly every day.

Plus, as the headquarters of 15 Fortune 1000 corporations, including global powerhouse Procter & Gamble, Cincinnati is where many Xavier students find internships and jobs after graduation.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Students will have the option of living on campus. You will quickly find that the residential experience at Xavier provides many learning opportunities in a unique living environment. Residents live and learn within close proximity to classes, faculty offices, the library, recreational facilities, and the Gallagher Student Center.

On-campus living provides a means for meeting a diverse group of people and learning more about yourself. The Residence Life staff works to assist you in getting the most out of your education both inside the classroom and out. Students living on-campus benefit from the learning environment, the people, and the programs offered.

Students residing on-campus will live in one of the four residence halls as a first year or sophomore student. Junior, seniors and graduate students may live in one of the several apartment buildings on-campus.
