Residence Life

Worried about making your new room into a home? Relax. At Graceland, our distinct housing system, which divides every residence hall into several “houses,” puts you in touch instantly with a circle of friends you’ll know from day one to graduation (and beyond).

Residence life at Graceland is also unique because of our commitment to providing an alcohol-, tobacco-, and drug-free environment. We want you to be able to reach your full potential in an atmosphere that encourages you to grow in healthy ways.

Living on campus also means that you don’t have to worry about food. It’s all taken care of for you. Floyd McDowell Commons, our dining hall (which is managed by Sodexho and serves darn good food), is open seven days a week. With three different meal plans you can choose the one that’s right for you.
