Student Housing at NIACC:

The Setting
Located on the North end of campus, student housing facilities are surrounded by beautiful lakes complete with a shelter house and a recreational trail into town. The grounds also include basketball, sand volleyball and tennis courts as well as the OK House, a non-denominational ‘hang out’ for studying and socializing.

A Place to Live
Each resident has access to a variety of amenities within or adjacent to the housing complex including study rooms, a computer lab, laundry facilities, free cable hook-up and basic phone service (students calling long-distance typically use a calling card or their cell phones), wireless internet access, rec room with ping pong and pool tables and a big screen TV, shared kitchen for special baking needs, exercise equipment (after you’ve done all that baking!), a vending area, cafeteria, dorm office, mail boxes, tennis courts, basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, and plenty of FREE parking.

A Place to Learn
Research has shown that students who live on campus frequently have a higher grade point average. You’ll find several quiet nooks where you can study in the residence halls, and you can choose to live on a designated quiet floor. If you need to use a computer, don’t walk to campus; take advantage of the residence hall computer lab, which is networked to campus and available around the clock.

A Place to Meet Friends AND Have Fun!
Living in the residence halls gives you an opportunity to meet new people from across Iowa, other states and even other countries. The residence halls are coed, housing both men and women on alternating wings or floors. And the nice thing is you don’t have to leave the building to see your friends or to get to the dining hall - everything is connected in one facility. Each floor, comprised of approximately 30 students, sponsors at least three activities per semester, and many floors choose to sponsor their own intramural teams. In addition, residents often attend campus activities together, including sporting events, dances, concerts and other campus entertainment like comedians, hypnotists, musicians and much more. (Most events are FREE!)

Who Lives on Campus?
Any enrolled student is eligible for on-campus housing and, by simply filling out an application and contract, can secure a reservation. The housing staff encourages all students, especially freshmen, to complete this process as soon as possible.
