Southern Nazarene University is primarily a residential campus. We believe the residential experience can contribute greatly to a student's development, enhancing their entire university experience.

National research performed at colleges and universities indicates that students who live on campus enjoy a more successful and rewarding university experience. They tend to be more involved, develop better study habits, have more contact with faculty, and achieve higher grades. SNU is committed to enhancing your learning outside of the classroom by providing a community where you can grow and learn by interacting with other students and caring residential staff. Residence life utilizes a creative blend of programs and activities to help you reach your full potential.
