Apartments
Harding has five apartment complexes that are available to Harding University families or single individuals eligible for off-campus housing, although the Village and West apartments (other than those used as residence hall space) will be assigned to families first. These apartment complexes offer the opportunity to enjoy apartment living with the convenience of being close to campus. Convenience and affordability are just two of the reasons that should be considered in making the move to one of Harding's complexes. All apartments have semester leases. Birds, fish, guinea pigs, gerbils and hamsters are the only pets allowed; a pet deposit is required. No tobacco of any kind or alcoholic beverages are permitted in or around the apartments. For more information about the apartments, please contact Loretta Gregersen (lgregers@harding.edu) at 1-800-879-4256 or (501) 279-4358. Monthly rental costs are approximate because charges are figured on a per day basis and posted from the day occupants take possession of the apartment through the month the term ends in.Village
