Discover how living on campus can add to your overall college experience. Meeting new friends, making yourself “at home” in your room, and getting involved with everything YSU has to offer are all just the beginning of your college life.

Housing & Residence Life’s residence halls offer the perfect atmosphere for making the most of your college experience. By choosing to live on campus, you gain a feeling of being connected to the University. You are among students who can relate to what you are feeling as you begin this new part of your life.

Beginning your college career is an adjustment, but the benefits of living on campus will make the transition easier. You will be in the center of it all. Classes, the student center, Andrews Recreation and Wellness Center, the YSU Bookstore, a variety of restaurants, and even the Home Savings & Loan bank are all just steps away from our residence halls. You’ll have the opportunity to relax and enjoy it all, while making friendships in your residence hall community that will last a lifetime.

We want you to feel at home when you live on campus in the residence halls. That’s why we make great efforts to make living in our communities comfortable, convenient and all-inclusive.

Accommodations for each student in every room include an extra long twin bed and mattress, a desk and a chair, a wardrobe or closet, a dresser, and blinds on the window. For students’ comfort, all rooms have individually controlled heating and air conditioning.

In addition, all residence halls have wireless high-speed Internet access and basic cable. Students may also purchase optional HBO and other premium or digital cable channels.

Add designated study spaces, free laundry with online laundry room alerts, computer labs with printing capabilities, kitchen facilities, TV and game rooms, music practice rooms (in Cafaro and Kilcawley Houses), designated resident-only parking lots and Penguin Shuttle stops at each building, and you have everything you need to enjoy life on campus.

One of the most convenient aspects of living on campus is no hidden costs. You don’t have to worry about paying monthly rent, utility, Internet and cable bills, buying furniture, stressing about maintenance issues, or constantly buying groceries. Your room and board costs include it all.

Student Health ServicesThe University’s Student Health Services office is located in Kilcawley House.

All on-campus services are free to YSU students, however, lab tests done off campus must be paid for by the student. Appointments can be made by calling Student Health Services.

Students who live on campus at YSU are more likely to get involved in extracurricular activities and learn valuable educational, social, and leadership skills. This involvement helps create a feeling of ownership and belonging. Research shows that students who live on campus obtain higher grade-point averages than those who commute or live off campus. Across the nation, those college students choosing to live on campus are more satisfied with their college experience and are more likely to graduate than their commuting peers.

In Housing & Residence Life, we understand you are at YSU for a quality education. It is important to us that while you are in our residence halls you are getting the

academic support you need. That is why we offer Residential Peer Mentors (RPMs) in Kilcawley

House and Lyden House. RPMs are employed by Housing & Residence Life and the Center for Student Progress to ensure all new students have an academic connection to YSU. RPMs are upperclass students who live in their assigned residence halls and help the residents in their community achieve academic success. The RPMs serve as valuable liaisons between students and the multitude of services offered

by the Center for Student Progress such as supplemental instruction and tutoring.

Residence halls have been shown to contribute to higher levels of faculty-student interaction and peer support,

better academic and social integration, greater satisfaction and commitment, and

higher college retention for students living in residence halls than for their off-campus counterparts.”

The Office of Housing & Residence Life offers these living-learning opportunities.

c o n n e c t

International Living-Learning Community (ILLC) Designed specifically to encourage students from diverse backgrounds and academic interests to come together in a setting that promotes intercultural understanding and communication, the ILLC provides incoming international

students the opportunity to remain living within an environment that is supportive and caring of individual wellness and growth while adapting to a new culture.

In Housing & Residence Life we understand the importance of connecting a student’s learning inside and outside of the classroom. That’s why we have created living-learning communities to foster those connections. A living-learning community is a residence hall community designed to bring together students with similar goals and interests. Involvement in the communities enables students to build connections between academic life and campus life. Students participate in activities which provide opportunities to grow and learn beyond the classroom.

Purpose of FYREThe purpose of the First Year Resident Experience (FYRE) program is to offer several levels of opportunities that include social immersion to your residence hall, your campus community and Youngstown. Throughout the year, residents will become familiar with all that YSU has to offer socially and academically. The Office of Housing & Residence Life will collaborate with all colleges to provide academically focused opportunities as well. Whether you are looking for other residents to study with or attend functions on campus with, programming will be provided with your academic college in mind!

Gain exposure in YSU's six academic colleges (Business, STEM, Creative Arts and Communication, Health & Human Services, Education and Liberal Arts)

FYRE Goals: Participating Residents WillMeet, interact and build relationships with other students that live on campus

Be introduced to campus resources that will help you succeed

Participate in a service project

Mission Statement The FYRE program fosters a living learning environment that aides the transition of first year residents to campus life at Youngstown State. Our purpose is to expose first year residents to social, academic, and philanthropic opportunities in an effort to fully engage with the on-campus experience at Youngstown State.

Emerging Leader Program Already looking for a leadership role? If so, participate in FYRE and sign up for the Emerging Leader Community track. The Emerging Leader Community is a residential branch of the campus wide Emerging Leader Program. Students who sign up for the Emerging Leader Community will work in partnership with the Office of Student Life to fulfill the requirements for the Emerging Leader Program.

Flight Student Athlete Experience “The Flight,” living learning community has been designed specifically to encourage incoming student-athletes to go above and beyond

athletic demands and focus on their overall wellness and growth. All student-athletes will complete an orientation, six wellness workshops, and participate in the Penguin Challenge. In addition, some student-athletes may be selected to be assigned a mentor who will provide additional support.

Housing & Residence Life provides students with activities throughout the year

that give them opportunities to be involved in campus life, socialize, have fun,

and learn something new. We know it is important for students to be involved

in opportunities outside of the classroom and to relieve the stress of fast-paced

academic life, so we encourage our residents to get involved in extracurricular

activities.

In addition to YSU’s Andrews Recreation and Wellness Center

and intramural programs, extracurricular leadership

opportunities, and Student Activities events, Housing

& Residence Life offers students a wide range of

social and educational activities such as Alcohol

Awareness Week, Family Day, Black Heritage

Festival, and L’il Sibs Weekend. Resident Assistants

also plan programs that include everything from

community service events to study skills and

time-management workshops to Super Bowl

parties.

It all starts with getting involved in the residence

hall community. Lasting friendships are built within

our residence halls. There is an entire community built

in each residence hall that provides our students with social

opportunities that will help to round out their college experience.

l e A D e r S H i PHousing & Residence Life is always looking to provide leadership opportunities on campus. One opportunity is to work in our residence halls. Many students choose to work while they are in school, but they drive to jobs off campus and spend extra time and money doing so. We offer our students the opportunity to work on campus right in our residence halls in a familiar environment with people they know while gaining leadership experience as well. Our resident assistant positions are the perfect way to gain extensive leadership training and experience. Our desk attendant positions provide students with the chance to be a resource to fellow students and be a known presence in the residence hall.

YSU’s Residence Hall Association is another great way for all residents to get involved and be leaders in the residence halls. The Residence Hall Association (RHA) is a member of an international organization which connects residential student organizations on over 350 campuses in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Spain, and Australia. RHA seeks to create an enjoyable living community for residents, present fun and informative programs, provide resident input about housing policies and developments, and take care of the needs of the students.

Safety is a priority at YSU. In fact, Youngstown State University prides itself on consistently being one of the safest campuses in Ohio.

Residence Hall SecurityCafaro, Kilcawley, Lyden, and Wick Houses have a front desk that is staffed

24 hours (with police officers from midnight to 5 a.m.). Exterior residence hall doors are locked in the evening. Weller House exterior doors remain locked at all times. All guests are required to sign in and leave a valid ID at the front desk. In addition, all guests must be accompanied by their hosts.

Residents are encouraged to lock their doors when they leave their rooms unoccupied, and each door is equipped with a deadbolt. Room door lock changes are mandatory when a resident loses keys.

All residence halls have modern fire protection including sprinklers and smoke detectors. In addition, every residence hall is equipped with state-of-the-art exterior and public-area video surveillance cameras to monitor safety.

Campus SafetyIt is important that all YSU students feel safe while they are on campus. The YSU Police Department is committed to the safety and well-being of each of our students. They can be seen patrolling campus 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in patrol cars, on foot, or by bike. They also oversee the Student Security Service that provides students an escort across campus. Whether it is after dark and a student wants to feel safe or a student is on crutches and needs assistance getting to class, the Student Security Service is available. Campus is also equipped with a blue light and emergency phone system. To help students get from one point on campus to another in the evening, the Penguin Shuttle runs late hours.

YSU is also equipped with a campus-wide mass notification system that includes a public announcement system as well as the YSU Alert program. YSU Alert is the emergency notification text messaging and email system for Youngstown State University. In the event of an emergency, a message will be sent to the mobile number and/or email registered with the system. Students, parents, faculty and staff are encouraged to register. This service is provided by YSU at no cost; however, message and data rates may apply.

One of the best reasons to choose to live on campus is the strong network of support that Housing & Residence Life offers each of our residents. We are eager and excited to be a part of your on-campus experience. We are here to support you while you live in our residence halls. Each floor/wing of the residence halls has an assigned Resident Assistant (RA). RAs are upperclass students who have undergone thorough training and are charged with creating a strong and valued community on their floor/wing. RAs also serve as invaluable resources to residence hall students.

The full-time professional staff members who work and live in each of the residence halls are called Housing Coordinators. Housing Coordinators supervise the RAs and front desk of their residence hall. They attend to the needs of the residents, handle emergencies, and keep the facilities safe, clean, and maintained. There

is a professional staff member, usually a Housing Coordinator, on call twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Housing Coordinators typically hold a master’s degree in student services and have extensive training in all aspects of their position.

In addition to the live-in staff, Housing & Residence Life also has a full central office staff that includes two assistant directors, two associate directors, a director, and administrative assistants. It is the goal of all Housing & Residence Life staff to support the academic mission of the University and therefore offer as much support to our residents as we possibly can. The Office of Housing & Residence Life is located on the first floor of Kilcawley House and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please let us know how we can help you while you are living with us.

Room assignment time slots for incoming students are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The single most important factor in determining when you can choose your room assignment is the date you complete your housing contract and pay your security deposit. The earlier you apply, the better the likelihood of getting your building and roommate preferences. This is particularly true for residence halls in high demand, such as Lyden House.

Only students admitted to YSU may apply, and it’s a good idea to apply as soon as you are sure you want to live on campus in University Housing. However, please be sure you are certain you want to live in University Housing because the security deposit is non-refundable if you choose not to attend YSU or not to live in University Housing.

The Office of Housing & Residence Life begins accepting online applications for University housing on February 1 prior to the start of the academic term. Students may apply for the start of summer term, fall term, or spring term.

4. From the Housing Portal click on the Application tab to begin your housing application.

5. Follow the steps in the Housing Portal to complete your housing materials and pay your security deposit.
