Oakland University has five unique residence halls located near the heart of campus, where all on-campus classrooms, computer labs, student services, recreational and dining facilities, and the library are less than a 10- minute walk away.
A variety of living arrangements and special interest programs are available to meet the needs and interests of each student. Options include double rooms and suites; private bathrooms and community bathrooms; coeducational floors; nonsmoking buildings; and living learning communities.
Oakland’s residence halls provide a safe environment for residents and guests. The outside doors of each hall are locked in the evening or monitored by Nightwatch staff. OU’s on-campus Police Department and Nightwatch staff join together in providing security, information and assistance day and night.

| Computer/Internet Service |
| Students living on campus who have their own computers can access the wireless local area network to connect to the university’s computer system, Internet, e-mail, discussion groups and other computer data resources. A computer lab also is located in Hamlin Hall for the exclusive use of residence hall students which provides free paper and printing. |
| Laundry Service |
| Each residence hall has at least one laundry room for resident use only. Laundry service is included in the room and board rate for the residence halls; therefore, the machines are free of charge. |
