Residence Life

The Office of Housing and Student Life provides a residence hall experience that compliments and broadens the educational mission of the university. Life in the residence halls provides support for the classroom experience, allows students opportunities to socialize and study with their peers, and provides an array of programs and activities that enhance the university experience.

Each residence hall is staffed by live-in professional staff or student para-professional hall directors and student resident assistants who provide administrative, advising and programming services. Residential students are encouraged to assume an active role in their residence hall and campus life. Regular floor and hall meetings provide opportunities for two-way communication between staff and residents. The residence hall environment also keeps residents informed of institutional policies and procedures and provides information and activities that maintain a positive, educational and safe living experience.

There are five residence halls, three apartment complexes and seven student houses on campus. All residence halls are non-smoking. Each residence hall and apartment complex offers its own laundry facilities, and all are located in close proximity to academic buildings and dining.
