At Allen University, Residential Life is more than housing — it’s home!

Living on campus gives students the opportunity to build lifelong friendships, grow as leaders, connect with campus resources, and fully experience the vibrant Yellow Jacket community. From engaging residence hall programs to supportive staff and student-centered spaces, Residential Life is designed to help every student thrive academically, socially, and personally.

Whether you are a first-year student discovering independence or an upperclassman preparing for the future, The Hive is a place where community and opportunity come together.


Residential life on campus is not just your home away from home—it's a vibrant learning community where friendships are forged, minds are nurtured, and the journey to self-discovery begins, all under one roof. Living on campus is convenient, affordable, and fun!
