Apply Now Residential Life Living Guide

Welcome to Westminster College

Hello!

Living on campus at Westminster is an exciting and important part of the student experience – we can’t wait to tell you all about it! The Office of Residential and Greek Life at Westminster College strives to foster community and the total development of students by facilitating life lessons, connecting curricular and cocurricular learning, and supporting the pursuit of academic scholarship. Our aim is the success of students centered on the institutional values of integrity, fairness, respect, and responsibility.

A significant part of a student’s education at Westminster College takes place in the communities students live in. Consequently, Westminster College requires all admitted degree-seeking students to live in one of the college-approved residence halls or college-owned houses. Exceptions may be made – view Residential Life Policies for more information.

If you have any questions, please contact ResLife@westminster-mo.edu.

We can’t wait to welcome you to campus!

Sincerely,

Office of Residential Life

“Westminster has helped me gain leadership qualities and confidence overall. I took a leadership position in my sorority as Chief Financial Officer, I also have held multiple leadership positions in Coloring Club as well as Order of Omega.”

Special Housing Accomodation

The Residential and Greek Life staff will work closely with our campus Wellness Center to insure the College is making a reasonable effort to meet a student's request for accommodation.

“Westminster has taught me many things and before coming here I wouldn’t have ever thought about committing to doing anything seriously. But now, I’ve learned that in order to achieve something, I have to work hard and deserve it. Through group work and presentations I have learned leadership skills within the classroom. More specifically, they taught me to work as a member of a group as well as a leader, and how to do this without conflicts in the group. My involvement outside of the classroom in Greek life as well as through the West Wings internship I am being able to develop more as a speaker so that in the future my audience can understand me more clearly.”
Ashim Karki International Business and Business Administration Major with Management and Marketing Concentrations
