A residential college, ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ believes that living on-campus is an integral part of the educational experience. Connection with your peers and the campus, support from residence hall staff, and opportunities to meet and live with others are a few of the ways in which the experience of living the residence halls contributes to your academic success. As a reminder, ºÚÁÏ´«ËÍÃÅ has a 4 semester residency requirement for all incoming First-Year college students and transfer students who have less than 30 credits upon admission.

Incoming students live throughout the residential campus (North, Central, and South Villages) and all areas provide a variety of offerings. You can offer your preference for a few factors to help us determine your placement. Note that all components of the are preferences, not guarantees. You can provide your preference for one roommate, the style of residence hall you prefer (corridor or suite), and apply to live in a Living Learning Communities (LLC) that interests you. Most of our students live in double rooms in corridor communities and about half of our incoming students live in LLCs!
