Apartment style living on campus

Washburn Villages offer apartment style living.

The Washburn Village, located on the southwest corner of the Washburn University campus, offers the perks of living in an apartment with all the services of a college setting - not to mention, you are just a short walk from law classes and study space.

Village apartments are furnished, equipped with a kitchen and come with an option for a smaller meal plan at one of our dining facilities. Enjoy the space to cook for yourself or have the option of grabbing a quick meal from a dining hall. Life as a law student becomes hectic, which makes this housing opportunity a convenient choice.
