Housing Search On Campus
Living on campus is a great way to connect to the JMU community. Residence Life is happy to offer housing contracts in upperclass residence halls. All these buildings are air-conditioned and most have suite-style or private bathrooms. You can sign a 2023-24 contract within this step. The deadline to sign your contract is May 31 and you must select a roommate in the Online Housing System by June 15. You will receive your room assignment via email by July 1. Contact Residence Life at 540-568-4663 or res-life@jmu.edu with any questions. Off Campus
Looking for off-campus housing? We encourage you to check the OCL website or call 540-568-6071. Follow Off-Campus Life’s advice to obtaining housing in Harrisonburg. 1. Determine which living arrangement best suits your personality. Are you interested in rooming with a group of students or is living solo your first choice? Be honest with yourself.
2. Check out OCL at jmu.edu/osl/ocl. Search for places to live and connect with other JMU stu- dents who are looking for roommates. 3. List at least three places to visit and make an appointment to tour the property. If you are look- ing for a roommate, most property owners will be happy to help place you with another JMU student.
