The residential college is the hub of the collective living and learning experience at Murray State University. The residence hall is the heart of each residential college and is the focal point for the residential college activities.

Each residential college is composed of residential and commuting students from a variety of academic majors, grade classifications, ethnic backgrounds and extra-curricular interests. This model is a very personal way for the students to become involved in college and to succeed.
 
The Residential College staff includes a college head (tenured faculty member), para-professional staff (a residence director and resident advisors) desk workers, student maintenance workers, and student rover staff. Staff members are there to assist students and to help provide an environment conducive to developing skills in living and working with a diversity of individuals.
 
All residential colleges except one are co-ed. This means both men and women are assigned to the same building; however, the genders are separated by floor or wing. The single gender building is Springer College.
 
Each room is equipped with twin beds, desks, chairs, closets and blinds. The students furnish most other items. Additional suggested items include towels, linens, blankets, clock, radio, area rug, lamp and telephone.
 
Washers, dryers, vending machines, kitchenettes (with stoves and microwave ovens), and study lounges are available in the residential colleges. Hart and White residential colleges each have expanded computer labs with internet access that is available for all students to use. Please note as well that each room on-campus has internet access and wireless access to the internet is also available.
