Charleston Southern University

Charleston Southern University (CSU) offers a range of on-campus housing options designed to enhance student engagement, academic success, and a sense of community. Traditional residence halls, including Russell Hall, Women’s North and South Halls, and Men’s North and South Halls, feature double-occupancy rooms with shared bathrooms, common areas, and close proximity to campus facilities, making them ideal for first-year students. For upperclassmen, apartment-style housing in The Quads and Wingate Apartments provides fully furnished units with kitchens, living rooms, and private or semi-private bedrooms, offering a more independent living experience. Suite-style housing in newer residence halls includes shared bedrooms connected by semi-private bathrooms, as well as community kitchens and study spaces, blending privacy with interaction. All accommodations are furnished with essential amenities, such as beds, desks, and closets, and include high-speed internet, utilities, and laundry facilities. Dining plans provide access to campus eateries, while 24/7 security, key-card access, and emergency systems ensure safety. Freshmen are generally required to live on campus unless exempted, and housing applications are submitted through the CSU portal, with costs and preferences considered during the assignment process.
