Ball State University provides Gender-Inclusive Housing options in select residence halls. These spaces offer a living environment for students who choose to live with roommates regardless of gender. Students may indicate their interest for this option when completing the housing application. Availability is limited.

For questions about Gender Inclusive Housing, please email or call the Office of Housing and Residence Life at 765-285-8000.

Any student who is comfortable living with a roommate of any gender can choose Gender-Inclusive Housing.

Gender-inclusive rooms are available throughout several of our residence halls. Depending on availability, possible halls could include Kinghorn, Park, DeHority, Botsford/Swinford, Schmidt/Wilson, Beyerl, and North West. 

If demand exceeds availability, we may not be able to accommodate all requests. To increase the likelihood of securing a space, students are encouraged to apply for housing early and indicate their interest as soon as possible.

A gender-inclusive restroom option will be available for the residents living in a gender-inclusive room. The style of these restrooms will vary based on the residence hall where the students are assigned. To learn more about the bathroom options available, please visit the web pages for our individual residence halls.
