Residence Halls
Duchesne Residence Hall
Duchesne is a co-ed residence hall named for Saint Philippine Duchesne, who brought the Society of the Sacred Heart to North America from France in 1818 at the request of Bishop William Dubourg– Bishop of Louisiana and the Floridas. Saint Philippine opened the first free school for girls west of the Mississippi in St. Charles, Mo., on September 14, 1818. Less than three weeks later, on October 3, a boarding school opened. This was the beginning of what grew to become Maryville University. With a housing capacity of 229 students, Duchesne Hall provides 24-hour computer labs and features a large lobby area on the ground floor. The building also houses the Health Center, the Residential Life Office, and the Parking and Public Safety Office.
Potter Hall
Situated within walking distance of all campus buildings, Potter Hall is located on Maryville Centre Drive, near I-64 and Woods Mill Road. The ground floor offers a spacious lobby for residents to meet, socialize and study, as well as free laundry facilities, a beverage station with free coffee, tea and water, a cardio fitness room, and a “Saints Snack Shop,” offering a limited selection. Potter Hall provides a private backyard patio with furniture and a grill. The University’s Residential Life offices are located in the lobby of Potter Hall.
This 248 person hall is a co-ed facility, with a private bathroom in each residential room. Male and female students will live next to one another; however, single-gendered living spaces will also be designated throughout the building. Room options in Potter Hall include doubles and triples, with the possibility of a few single rooms based on accommodation requests.

Mouton Residence Hall
Mouton Residence Hall takes its name from the late Sister Odeidë Mouton, RSCJ, who was appointed the first president of Maryville College in 1937 and served for nineteen years. Her boundless energy and keen foresight set Maryville on a successful path that continues to this day. Sister Mouton also served as the religious superior for three years.
This hall has the capacity to house 147 students. The ground floor offers a computer lab, a kitchen, as well as snack and soda machines. Each floor in Mouton has a large lounge and free laundry facilities. The rooms have a floor space of approximately 11′ x 13′, and a window that measures 46″ x 49″. Furnishings provided by the university include two closets, two dressers, two desk chairs, two medicine cabinets, and two twin-sized beds. The third floor of Mouton is an all-female floor.
Apartments
Hilltop Student Apartments
As a Maryville upperclassman, you want the convenience that living on campus provides, but you also crave the independent living experience. You can do both! Maryville University’s Hilltop Apartments are located on the far north end of campus. The five apartment buildings house a total of 250 students. Each building has 15 units and accommodates 50 students. Ten of the units feature four-bedrooms and two-bathrooms; the remaining five units have two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The apartments are fully-furnished with bedroom and living room furniture. Kitchen appliances include a garbage disposal, dishwasher, stove/oven, and a built-in microwave. Free laundry service is available on the lower level of each building. Every apartment has a private backyard patio equipped with a picnic table and grill.
Resident Assistants
Each floor, wing or apartment is staffed by a Resident Assistant (RA). The RA’s are students that have been selected and trained prior to the beginning of each academic year. Since the RA’s reside in an assigned living area, they have the opportunity to get to know their residents and provide on-going support. To assist with issues after the Residential Life Office is closed (such as lockouts, emergency maintenance needs, etc.) we have Resident Assistants and a professional staff member on-call in the evening, weekends and over the break periods.
