Living on Campus

Residence Life

The on campus living experience creates opportunities for students to be close to campus, develop life-long friendships, and live in a community environment that supports social, academic, and development skills. The goal for the Department of Residential Living is to offer residential facilities, programs, and services that enhance student learning and support student success across each of our 11 residence halls and communities.

While living in an environment that promotes safety, students also benefit from the opportunity to learn about other cultures and lifestyles, form lifelong friendships, and make lasting memories. The concepts of self-respect and respect for others, tolerance of and celebration of diversity, ethical behavior and personal growth are fostered via staff intervention, community-based educational and social programs, and the expectation that hall residents hold one another accountable. The convenience of living on campus provides students easy access to numerous campus resources, including faculty and academic advisors, the library, computer labs, dining halls and other campus eateries, recreational facilities, and student organizations.
