First-Year Housing Information
Explore where you might live as a new student at Muhlenberg.
First-year students live and learn alongside their peers in two dedicated first-year residence halls: Prosser and Walz. First-year students may also have the option to reside in Brown Hall. Located on the west side of the campus, these halls foster a strong sense of community and provide a supportive network for students navigating their first year away from home.
