Benefits of Living On-campus
While convenience is often the number one reason for living on campus, you will find we offer our students much more than just a place to study and sleep.
Our halls and apartments are located close to classroom buildings as well as near libraries, shopping, and recreational areas.
There are many opportunities to meet new people and get involved while living in the halls and apartments. Residents are able to participate in social, educational, cultural and recreational opportunities, and participate in student government organizations. For more information on hall programs and involvement opportunities visit Hall Programs. Student employment opportunities are also available.
Residents benefit from the services, skills and time of a committed staff. Both full-time, professional staff (some living in the building), and a student staff, are available for advice or referrals on just about any topic from personal matters to career decisions. Research shows students who live on campus their first year do better academically, have a higher retention rate and graduate in less time than first year students who live off campus. For more information on staff in the halls/apartments, visit HRL Staff.
