Any full-time Lindsey Wilson student who does not live with a parent or guardian must live in one of the residence halls, unless he or she qualifies as an independent student under policies described in The Student Handbook. All housing assignments are managed by the Residence Life Office. Room assignments are made on the basis of double occupancy. Single rooms, at an extra charge, are available by request provided there are vacancies.

Students desiring housing may complete a housing application and forward it with the designated room deposit to: Residence Life Office, Lindsey Wilson College, 210 Lindsey Wilson St. Columbia, Kentucky 42728. A room will be reserved once a room and board contract is signed and a housing deposit is received and on file in the Residence Life Office. The standards and guidelines pertaining to residence life are explained in The Student Handbook.

Students applying for room assignments may indicate a preference of a roommate. Whenever possible, such requests are granted. Returning students' requests are given first consideration.

While changes in room assignments are sometimes possible, permission must be granted by the appropriate residence director.

Rooms are normally furnished with the following: telephone jacks, television cable with service hookups, Ethernet computer data lines, wireless data connections, single beds, chests of drawers, mirrors, closets, and study desks. Sheets, blankets, pillows, and towels must be furnished by the student. Students are responsible for items of personal property they bring on campus or have in their rooms. The College is not responsible for damage to or loss of a student's property.
