Almost 85% of our students live on campus. It’s convenient and it keeps you in the middle of our active community. We have 10 residential communities to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that suits you.
We offer traditional rooms in single-sex and co-ed residence halls, suite-style living and modern apartments, along with a variety of specialized living and learning opportunities.
Every residence hall has cable television, wireless Internet access, easy and secure card access to your building, free washers and dryers, and much more. Take a look below.
