Living at Lynn: Your home away from homeHousing and Residence Life

You stroll around a beautiful, tropical paradise in your flip-flops and sunglasses. You stop at a hammock, swaying in the breeze among palm trees, to check your iPad or listen to the latest music. After grabbing an iced coffee at Christine’s, you go for a dip in the pool before meeting friends on one of many patios with spectacular sunset views. Dinner is next, and your choices are endless, healthy and delicious.

This is not Club Med or a luxury resort. This is life at Lynn … University. Our lush campus looks and feels like a tropical paradise. We can’t help it. We’re in South Florida, and we take advantage of all it has to offer.

On-campus housing provides a cozy environment where you can safely explore the responsibilities that come with being a college student.

First- and second-year students—typically those who have earned less than 60 credit hours—are expected to live in Lynn housing. Housing is limited and some exclusions apply, so act quickly and either:

1) Submit your housing application and deposit

OR

2) Speak with the director of Housing and Residence Life if one of these describes you:

• You’re 21 or older

• You’re married or have children

• You reside with parents or legal guardians within commuting distance from campus

After 60 earned credits are under your belt, it’s time to embrace your independence. While you can still apply for potential housing on campus, we cannot guarantee an assignment. Instead, we encourage all upperclassmen to explore housing off-campus to get a feel for the “real world.” In fact, many students love the freedom of being off campus, because they learn to budget, to cook and begin to acquire other “adulting” skills. Plus, commuters are always welcome to use campus resources like the library and—of course—get food at Mary’s Kitchen, Christine’s and Perper Coffee House!

Top 10 reasons living on campus rocks!

Save time and money. Everything is within walking distance—no commute required!

Traditional utilities, including cable, are included. Plus, access free Wi-Fi from anywhere on campus.

Scenic study areas, including lakeside hammocks and benches, make great places to read and relax.

Enjoy great meals 24/7 from Mary’s Kitchen. Less cooking equals more free time to study, work and play.

Build relationships. Join your community at events in your hall and across campus.

Find fascinating friends. Your roommate, neighbor and hall mate will hail from every corner of the world.

Most on-campus activities are complimentary. Plus, get outdoors with recreation options that take advantage of our South Florida weather.

Catch 30 extra minutes of sleep. Rolling out of bed and into class takes only five minutes, which makes those 8 a.m. classes a lot easier to take.

Be supported. Living on campus usually means more time to study, leading to better grades and an on-time graduation, plus greater satisfaction overall.

It’s a safe place to gain the skills that will help you become a self-sufficient, independent member of society after college.
