Housing
Housing is available on the Christian Brothers University campus in apartment buildings. Each apartment includes four private bedrooms, two baths, a living room, kitchen and laundry room. (Male and female students will share separate apartments.) If hotel accommodations are preferred, contact the School staff.

Paul W. Barret, Jr. School of Banking encourages all students to reside on campus to achieve the full benefit of the program, including opportunities to interact with other students on a professional level as well as socially. However, the Board recognizes that it may be more convenient for some local students to reside at home and commute to school. Attendance requirements are the same for students who commute and those who reside on campus.
