Residence Life
NMJC Housing and Residence Life is your "NMJC Home" away from home! We believe on-campus living provides both an enjoyable and rewarding experience in community living as well as the necessary support for academic success.
Residence halls are not just a place to eat and sleep; they are an integral part of college life. NMJC provides full-time students, carrying 12 or more semester hours, with modern, comfortable and affordable housing. Living in a residence hall provides the opportunity to meet new friends and associate with other students from diverse backgrounds. In the process, students grow and develop as people, capable of taking on the responsibilities of living with others.
Please consider joining the Residential Housing Association (RHA) to make on-campus housing a better a place to live and learn.
