FMU Housing & Residence Life

FMU Housing & Residence Life Welcome to FMU Housing and Residence Life! Here you can find all things related to Housing and Residence Life at Francis Marion.

The Housing and Residence Life program promotes academic success by providing modern, attractive facilities in a safe environment. A residence hall or university apartment is more than just a place for sleeping and storing books. It becomes the student's home, the place they will spend most of their time - studying, socializing, and living. That is why we work hard to make sure our residence halls

and apartments are inviting, comfortable, and safe places to live and learn. Living on campus is one of the best decisions a student can make. This page demonstrates the benefits of campus living, the amenities available to residential students, and the quality service provided for FMU Students. By living on campus, students get to know each other through socializing, playing intramural sports, and studying together. These lifelong friendships are one of the greatest benefits of living on campus.
