JUNROTC Housing Options
Midshipmen/College Program
As a residential campus, 91Ï㽶ÊÓƵ requires all first-year students, with a few exceptions, to live on campus. Learn about housing options.
OC/MECEP
As an OC/MECEP attending JUNROTC, you rate BAH (Zip 32211). Most use this to find an apartment to their liking near JU/UNF/FSCJ.
You may apply for base housing at NS Mayport or NAS Jacksonville (info below), but few OC’s/MECEP’s actually use this method to establish themselves here. This may be due to the large selection of apartment complexes near JU/UNF/FSCJ.
Apartment Location Considerations
- Most are dissatisfied with the traffic/45min+ drive time from the Orange Park/Blanding/103rd area.
- Traffic is also a negative factor on Southside Blvd, South of JTB.
- You will travel to JU 2-7x/week depending on semester scheduling. This will occur even if you attend UNF or FSCJ, and will usually be early in the morning (PT is 0530-0700).
