Find Your Village in On-Campus Housing
Completing the journey through medical school takes a village—and if you choose to live in Ross Med’s on-campus housing, your village will be right outside your door.
The Villages of Coverley offer a number of amenities to Ross Med students, including furnished, university-provided housing, complimentary shuttles to and from campus, on-site security, student meeting spaces, and more.
Here, you can make yourself at home with other Ross Med students in one of our modern, 3- or 4-bedroom houses, or by applying to live in a family unit with your partner, children, or other dependents.
Family Housing:
If you plan to live with a partner, child, or other dependent, you can apply to live in one of our specially discounted 3-bedroom family homes in the Villages of Coverley.
We have a limited number of family homes, which offer a maximum occupancy of two adults and five people total. Once your application for family housing is accepted and confirmed, you will be guaranteed a family unit for the entirety of your enrollment at Ross Med.
Roommate Assignments
As a student, you also have the option to live with housemates in one of our 3- or 4-bedroom homes. Space is assigned based on eligibility, roommate compatibility, and availability. Ross Med only assigns same-gender housemates, and you’ll meet your new housemates upon arrival to Barbados.
