Living on campus is very different from living at home—it offers not only a place to eat and sleep but also the chance to be a part of a vibrant community to learn and grow. To facilitate the on-campus living experience for new and returning students, the Student Housing and Residential Life Department offers a reliable and comfortable home base to create a positive living situation.
