Living On-Campus

Tiffin University is a crossroads: we represent who you are now and who you will become. Not only will you find yourself, you will create your best you. Our living-learning environment gives you a home away from home and prepares you for life.

Our students live on campus for the first three years of their time in Tiffin because we believe it is an important part of the college experience. You learn about yourself, how to make it on your own and, best of all, meet people who will broaden your world and become friends for life. Our community reflects the diverse world we live in and creates an opportunity to meet new people you never thought you would.

We offer affordable residence halls and apartments that inspire academic achievement, student involvement, personal and professional development, while focusing on community, safety, wellness, inclusion and respect. TU’s Residence Life Office aspires to develop students who want to be civically engaged, professionally focused and life-long learners. We believe the development of independent decision-making skills is an important part of college.

Tiffin University’s on-campus housing offers a variety of options within our residence halls. Because TU is built around real student engagement, you will find a caring, supportive group of friends in the hall that you choose to live. Community engagement leads to lasting, sincere relationships, and lifelong friendships!

TU promotes a family-style approach of small group living that creates “community.” Living on campus is an excellent opportunity to get to know other TU students, often from other cultures. This interaction leads to a development of self-identity, realization of strengths and weaknesses, greater maturity and a broadening of one’s perspectives. You will find it’s easier to share talents, experiences and skills through on-campus living.

Off-Campus Accommodations

Students have numerous options of finding an accommodation off-campus in nearby areas. Students can have access to studio apartments, paying guest facilities, sharing apartment complexes and many more.

The Office of Student Engagement strongly encourages all students to participate in extracurricular activities as well as in the classroom. Participating in college student organizations will provide students with essential skills and practical experience, allowing them to become more well-rounded persons in society and more attractive job applicants.

The Tiffin University Library supports the university's goal by linking students, faculty, and staff to high-quality resources and services that support research, learning, and professional practice. Mental health counseling, supportive counseling, wellness, and referral services are all available at Tiffin University.

The Tiffin University Career Services Office empowers students and alumni by guiding them through the career development process and connecting knowledge to professional practice through a variety of resources and programs that are designed to help students and alumni make successful employer connections.

Chris Ivory (American football running back), Sandra Williams (Ohio State Senator), George Whitfield Jr. (American football player), Joe Macko (Baseball player), Kyle Overmyer (Politician), Tom Dunlap (Politician) are some of the notable alumni.
