Dorm life. It’s what makes the big experience special.
Your dorm room is the center of your life at FHU. It’s a place where you showcase your personality, make lifelong friendships, and spend most of your time. It’s a big decision. But it’s also a big deal to make sure you have your room reserved. Don’t be left wondering if you’ll get the dorm and the roommate you want. Make sure you get your housing deposit turned in as soon as possible to secure your spot in the dorm of your choice.
In most dorms, each room can be customized to the way you want it. Once you move in, that’s when the fun begins. Dorm life also means growing spiritually. Dorm devotionals, conversations with suite mates and discussions of Bible class are all part of the thread that makes a residential education so unique. But don’t take our word for it. Come see for yourself. Come visit campus and take a tour of the dorms. Find the dorm that would be best for you.
Technology in the Dorm
In addition to color printers in the Library and Student Center, each dorm lobby (excluding privileged housing) is equipped with a web accessible printer so students can network to the printer and print from anywhere.
Also, each residence hall, like most parts of our campus, is equipped with wireless high-speed internet access, and every room includes a network port per person, providing dedicated internet access for every student.
Women's Residence Halls

Privileged Housing

Rooms are reserved for students entering their senior year. Each apartment features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, an eat-in kitchen and a laundry closet.
