“ My experiences living on campus were nearly only great experiences. My first year I lived in a learning community and my floor formed a very close-knit group of friends. I have never had a roommate that didn’t become a good friend of mine. ”
Mail Service
As a resident, you’ll have mail and packages delivered to campus by various parcel services. For letters and envelope mail, you will have access to a mailbox assigned to your room within your residence hall/complex. Packages, delivered via mail services, will be delivered either to your residence hall’s customer service desk or to the mail locker central location (Towers or Merick) depending on your residence hall. You will receive an email when a package has arrived and is ready for pickup. Residents are responsible for checking their mailboxes and for getting packages from the lockers/desks to their rooms. Food deliveries are not considered mail and will not be held at customer service desks for residents.
MicroFridge Rental
Complete your room with a combination refrigerator, freezer, and microwave. A limited number are available for rent through Residence Life on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Vending
Grab a study snack or rehydrate from your walk across campus at one of the many vending machines located across campus and in every residence hall.
