Getting you started on the right foot. That's what we do.
What will you do while living on campus? You will: eat fresh food at every meal, save time walking to class, and find your flock in the heart of the action—but that’s not all. Students living on campus form better relationships with faculty, get more involved in campus life, earn better grades, and increase your likelihood to graduate on time.
Whatever you do here, you won’t do it alone.
Find Your Flock
-
Special Interest Housing
Special Interest Housing Communities were created for students who share similar interests or study in the same academic program to live together, sometimes on the same floor, but always in the same building. This can give you a jump start in connecting with others as soon as you move in. -
Residence Hall Association
Want to be a part of a diverse student group and represent your residence hall? Or are you looking for activities taking place around the residence halls to meet your fellow classmates? The Residence Hall Association plans activities within the residence halls and serves as the voice of students living on campus. -
Pet-Friendly
There's no place like home, and nothing makes a place feel more like home than your favorite furry, or scaly, friend. We understand a loving pet can ease your transition and overall college experience. That’s why we developed our Pet-Friendly Community. Find out how your best friend can live on campus with you. -
Student Organizations
With over 180 student organizations from eSports to Scuba Club, you'll never be bored. Whatever your interests, you can lead, serve, or play in a community. Explore our Student Organizations list to get involved, and if you don't see an organization you want to join, create a new one.
