Whether you're a new first-year, transfer or returning student, life on campus is full of opportunities to get engaged. When you live on campus, you will feel a sense of belonging and community. You will have the distinct advantage of being surrounded by resources at your fingertips to help you achieve success.

Living on campus with our 4,000 other residents allows you to meet people from different cultures, countries and ethnic backgrounds who may become lifelong friends. You can also forge relationships with staff who are here to support you along your journey. Residence hall communities are where you can live with other students and socialize with others who share your academic and career interests.

You are also afforded the convenience of dining centers, study and relaxation spaces and social areas. Your residence hall or apartment is your new home and we're excited to have you as part of the community.

You can also apply for several different type of student work positions in our department that help you develop leadership skills to equip you for a successful academic journey and professional career.
