Whether you live in a traditional hall or suite, our commitment is to provide you with a healthy, clean and safe environment.
Our residence hall staff is here to provide information, counseling and programming for residents. By choosing to live in the residence halls, you will be at the center of campus activity, close to classes and dining facilities, and right in the midst of many social activities!
Living on campus is convenient, affordable, and fun!
