Connections on Campus

• When you live on campus, you can be independent but you’re not alone. With hundreds of student clubs on campus there’s always something new to try, and more people to meet! With all kinds of activities and events happening every day, there are always new friends to make, new experiences to try and new interests to discover. It's a diverse and welcoming community where you can feel comfortable being yourself and learning more about others. You'll also find many opportunities to make connections with faculty both in and out of the classroom.

Help When You Need It

• Support is right outside your door. There's a Resident Assistant (RA) on each floor or wing and a Resident Director (RD) on each building, ready to help with everything from finding your classes to figuring out what to do on Tuesday night. A variety of academic support centers are just steps away, offering free tutoring and other services in almost every subject. All over campus, you'll find resources with the answers you need, even the ones you didn't know you were looking for.

No Unexpected Expanses

• Most basic living expenses are covered in one bill at most colleges, including a dining plan with a choice of many restaurants across campus. Plus, residence hall rates include services and amenities you'd have to pay extra for off campus including high-speed internet, utilities, extended basic cable and even free laundry. You also don’t have to worry about maintenance and repairs because dorms have a custodial staff that cleans routinely.
