Residential Life

The Office of Residential Life realizes the impact that living arrangements can create on a student’s life and education. We feel the decision to live in University housing, while attending college, will provide additional opportunities; for personal growth, educational development, connectedness, and leadership experiences. Studies consistently show that students living in the residence halls have higher grade point averages and lower dropout rates and are involved in more campus activities than those living at home or off campus.

TTU campus has 15 residence halls, two for men, one for women and 12 coeducational halls accommodating approximately 2,300 students. Each residence hall is supported by an Assistant Coordinator, a live in professional staff member, a Hall Director, an experienced student staff member providing additional support to the hall, and between 9 and 12 Resident Assistants (RAs), upper class students hired to provide support, guidance and community development on each of the floors. Each residence hall is secured by entry through an electronic card access with only assigned residents and staff being allowed entrance. In addition to our residence hall space we also have 228 newly renovated apartments that are to all full-time students. Thse apartments may be rented either individually or shared. The apartments are supported by a Residential Coordinator and 4 Resident Assistants. You may contact our office at 931-372-3548 or reslife@tntech.edu for additional information about housing at TTU.

Living-Learning Villages

The Village concept was conceived to create smaller, more personal groups within the larger university, to enhance student-faculty interaction beyond the classroom and to enhance positive student connections within the University. Each Village will be organized around a common theme and supported by a Faculty Head working together with the Assistant Coordinator, the Residential Life staff and the Village residents.
