Housing at Wesley
Through its housing ministry, the Wesley Foundation offers JSU students a unique Living-Learning community that significantly adds to the college experience.
About Housing
A Wesley room is more than just a spot to sleep and study - it's a place to discover and learn about yourself. It is not a dorm or an apartment; it is a house because community is at the center. Wesley residents are far more than renters. They are active learners, leaders, and ambassadors of a ministry living in a covenant relationship.
Living at Wesley is an opportunity to be a part of a special form of community that fosters friendships and personal growth, but it is up to the students themselves to create that community. Therefore, it is critically important that all students who live at Wesley be especially active in the ministry and activities at Wesley. The expectations for residency during the academic year are described in the Community Covenant.
Housing is available only for current JSU students.
Academic Year Housing
Academic Year housing is structured in a way similar to university housing. Students are making an 8-month commitment for housing from the start of the fall semester in August through the completion of the spring semester in April.
There are no extra or hidden fees. The rate includes utilities, high-speed internet, a washer/dryer, streaming TV, and access to a cooking area.
There is an abundance of shared, common space around Wesley for residents to study, lounge around, and be together with friends.
There is no registration fee. Upon acceptance, a deposit will be required to reserve your space.
Our rooms are designed for two roommates who share one bathroom. The Standard Room rate for double occupancy is $1,900 per semester. If you would like to apply for a private room with a private bath, the rate is $2,700 per semester.
All residents are invited to be a part of an ongoing peer-guided mentoring group, or Circle, designed to foster spiritual and personal growth. Each group's mentor is our Wesley Director, who has decades of experience helping students find their way in life.
While the Wesley Circle ministry is available to any student across campus, Wesley residents receive the added benefit of living in a positive and supportive environment. Being with the right people in a good environment makes all the difference.
The online application is a short, simple process. The next step is attending a Housing Interview meeting. You'll have a chance to select a meeting on the last question of the form. If necessary, a private conversation with the Wesley Director follows.
The focus of our scholarship is to help students grow more intentionally in their own sense of life purpose. We often have the best of intentions, but we do not always live intentionally. It is often difficult to "get going" and to make the kind of difference that we really do want to make. We are helped by a loving nudge and a positive environment to be more focused and more intentional in our life. Together, we can go farther than we could ever go alone.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
In a nutshell, the Wesley Scholarship is intended to foster community, and students are required to
