About Off-Campus Housing Near Drury University
Drury University is a private liberal arts university in Springfield, Missouri, with strong programs in architecture, business, and the sciences.

Drury University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Drury University requires all first-year students to live on campus in one of its residential halls unless they are living with a parent or legal guardian within a designated commuting distance. Students must submit a housing exemption request if they believe they qualify for an exception, and approval is not guaranteed.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Students who have completed at least one full academic year at Drury are generally eligible to seek off-campus housing for the following year. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors in good academic and behavioral standing may apply for release from the on-campus requirement. Transfer students may be eligible immediately depending on their credit hours and class standing.
Lease Timing
Most off-campus landlords in Springfield begin listing available units in the fall semester for the following academic year, with the busiest signing period running from November through February. Students who wait until spring may find fewer options and higher prices. Signing early provides the best selection of apartments near campus.
