Housing & Dining
When you choose to live in Residence, you'll have easy access to
faculty, staff resources and other campus services. You don't have to worry
about cooking your own food (when on a meal plan), doing the dishes or
traveling far to class, and will have more energy to concentrate on your
studies. New friendships are at the heart of every residence. Every year,
students remark that one of the great things they like about living in
residence is meeting new friends. Living in Residence makes the adjustment to
university life easier. By living on campus, you will make friends more quickly
and become familiar with the campus, and all that it has to offer.
