Housing Information

Living in a residence hall on a college campus offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On-campus living will give you the chance to live independently and to discover the rich variety of personalities, lifestyles and resources that an educational environment has to offer.

In addition to being more likely to achieve a higher grade point average, residence hall students tend to develop more successful study habits and are more likely to finish school than those who live off campus.

Hall residents also interact more with other students and faculty and staff members, giving them additional opportunities to find mentors and develop new friendships. These academic benefits, combined with the many recreational and cultural activities available to you as a residence hall student, can significantly add to your college success.
