About Off-Campus Housing Near Truman State University
Truman State University is Missouri's flagship liberal arts and sciences university, a public institution in Kirksville in rural northeast Missouri. With around 5,000 to 6,000 students, Truman is known for rigorous academics, a strong honors culture, and competitive admissions relative to other Missouri public schools. The campus sits near the center of Kirksville along Normal Avenue, and the college-town atmosphere is shaped almost entirely by the university. Truman offers strong programs in biology, business, communication, and education, and sends a high share of graduates to professional and graduate schools.
Truman State University Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
Truman State University requires all first-year students to live in university residence halls for their first year. Freshmen must submit a housing application and are assigned to one of Truman's on-campus residential communities. Exceptions are granted for students who live with a parent or legal guardian within a defined commuting distance.
Off-Campus Eligibility
Students who have completed at least one year at Truman are generally eligible to move off campus. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors make up the majority of the private rental market in Kirksville near campus. Students must formally notify the housing office if they plan to live off campus after their first year.
Lease Timing
The off-campus rental market in Kirksville moves early given the limited housing supply in a small city. Students should begin searching in November or December for the following fall to get the best apartments near campus on Normal Avenue and in central Kirksville. Waiting until spring semester means fewer desirable units are available close to campus.
