Our Housing and Residence Halls
The Residential Life & Housing staff fosters a living community that strives to meet students’ social needs as well as their academic ones.
Inviting and Engaging
We support a warm and positive community based on individual responsibility, where there is an appreciation of individual differences and a respect for individual rights. Through a wide variety of activities and events planned by our staff, those living in the residence halls can enjoy themselves while getting to know each other. Participation is a great way to become part of the residential community and feel comfortable in your new home.
