Murray State University requires freshmen and sophomores to live on campus unless they qualify for a housing exemption. In addition, students receiving regional tuition in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Tennessee must live in on-campus housing each semester they are enrolled in classes in order to qualify for the regional tuition.

On-campus Housing Options
Murray State's eight residential colleges house over 3,000 students. All rooms on campus are designed for two students and are air-conditioned. Seven colleges— Clark, Franklin, Hart, Regents, Richmond, Springer and White—offer suite arrangement baths. Two colleges— Elizabeth and Hester—offer community bath arrangements. All rooms in all colleges have individual lavatories, and all public hallways are carpeted to help reduce the noise level. All residential colleges are within convenient walking distance of classes, the Curris Center, recreation facilities and campus dining halls.

Off-campus Housing Options
If you are exempt from living on campus, you will find there are many apartments and houses to rent in the Murray area. You may want to contact the Chamber of Commerce as they compile and sell (at a nominal fee) a comprehensive list of available apartments and houses for rent.
