EAGLES is an on-campus and off-campus residential program, providing practical experience in independent living skills. 

On Campus

There are 24 residence halls located in seven residential communities on Auburn University’s campus. Resident assistants, or RAs, provide support to students living in the dorms on campus. In addition to RAs, students in the EAGLES program have the support, as needed, of Independent Living Student Workers who empower EAGLES students to develop independent living and social skills through hands-on support. They will help foster autonomy by providing structured guidance and gradually individualizing, as students gain confidence and independence.

Students enrolled in the Basic 2-Year Program are required to live in an assigned inclusive residence hall. Students reside in suite-style housing that includes individual bedrooms. Depending on the suite layout, students will either have a private bathroom or share a bathroom with another student. Each suite also features a shared common area and kitchenette.

Bedrooms are furnished with a bed, desk and chair, chest of drawers, and an open closet. The shared living/dining areas are equipped with a sofa, an accent chair, and two bar stools at the kitchen counter. The kitchenette includes a microwave, refrigerator, sink, countertop, and cabinet space. Each suite also has its own washer and dryer.

Off Campus

Students who are accepted into the Advanced 4-Year Program are required to live off-campus in an approved apartment secured through Auburn University Housing. The EAGLES Program provides support as students transition from on-campus to off-campus living.

Students reside in fully furnished 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom apartments. Each student has a private bedroom and bathroom, furnished with a full XL-sized bed, nightstand, stackable chest of drawers, desk and chair, USB power outlet, and a shelved closet with mirrors.

The shared living area includes a leather-style sectional sofa, coffee and side tables, an entertainment stand, and hardwood-style flooring. The dining area features a fully equipped kitchen with bar stools, quartz stone countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, including a microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, sink, oven, and stovetop. Each apartment also includes a washer and dryer.
