Housing and Residence Life

Here at Mount Mercy, residential living is a significant part of the college experience and the residential program is designed to support student success. Our program focuses on academic success, civic and community engagement, social and recreational involvement, healthy relationships, inclusive communities and personal wellness. Additionally, the residential community offers a variety of options for leadership, peer relationships and employment.

Living on campus immerses you in campus activities and eases the transition into college life, which is why Mount Mercy has a two-year residency expectation. Students are expected to live in campus housing during their first four semesters of full-time attendance. Our housing options range from traditional two-person rooms to eight-person suites. All residence halls have separate floors reserved for male and for female students, and our student rooms come equipped with Internet connections, basic cable television and a telephone line with a private extension.

Regina Hall is a six-story building that houses 190 students in double or single rooms with a common bath area on each floor. McAuley Hall has four residence floors housing 114 students in double or single rooms connected by semi-private baths.

For juniors and seniors, the lower campus apartments house 64 students in four "houses," each containing four two-bedroom apartments. Andreas House accommodates 144 students in 18 eight-person suites. Each suite features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and kitchenette.
